New Tombstone Bases Fabricated
Last Saturday, April 30, several of our members converged on the Odd Fellows building to fabricate bases for five headstones at our Cheatham-Gibson-Coleman Cemetery project. All the bases were made and are at the Lodge building curing. I’m hopeful that one or two more trips to this project site will finish things up! Thanks to those who helped. Some work was also done at the Odd Fellows Cemetery.
