Work Schedule for St. John's U.C.C. Mantels

At the Tuesday, July 26 evening meeting, we created an agenda for August at St. John’s U.C.C. Cemetery at Mantels.

Saturday, August 6 beginning at 9:00 a.m.

Thursday, August 11 beginning at 4:30 p.m.

Thursday, August 18 beginning at 4:30 p.m.

The brush, weed, and flowering plant removal is nearly complete. A plat has been created and a complete (though growing!) inventory of the headstones has been made. We are ready to tackle the headstones with cleaning crew, repairs and much straightening. The clearing of brush has revealed several headstones that have never been recorded, so historically speaking, this has already proven to be a valuable project.

“Mantels” is located on Highway A south of Krakow, between Union and Washington. The “new” cemetery is located right alongside Highway A. The old cemetery, where we are working, is adjacent to the church which is on the other side of the highway on Mantels Road.
