At last night’s meeting of the cemetery society we established the following agenda:
Thursday, March 24, 4:30 p.m.: Odd Fellows Cemetery, Washington. Help the Odd Fellows get the cemetery in shape for spring. Some stone work can be accomplished (leveling, cleaning). Fill trailer!
Saturday, March 26, 9:00 a.m.: Krog Park (Bassora Cemetery) in Washington. Probing for headstones, recording information thereon.
Tuesday, March 29, 5:00 p.m.: Cheatham-Gibson-Coleman Cemetery, Campbellton. Still probing for bases and stones. Repair and resetting of stones.
Saturday, April 2, 9:00 a.m.: St. John’s UCC Cemetery, Bem (Gasconade Co.) Carpoolers meet at Washington Historical Society Museum at 8:00 a.m. We'll repair and reset about a half dozen stones. Teach cleaning techniques.
Saturday, April 16, 9:00 a.m.: James Cemetery, Pacific. Heavy equipment will be used to peel back the earth slowly. We are to look for tombstones, record and assess overall situation for future restoration.
Please attend whatever you can; obviously we are busy and could use your help. Also, remember to ask a friend to join us. For only $10 a year, you can really work up a sweat!
