Tippecanoe County Indiana
Tea
Pioneer Cemetery
Restoration Project
2003-2004

Thanks to C.J. Baker for choosing the Tea cemetery as his Eagle project.
This cemetery was last cleaned up in the 1960's. As you can see it was
very overgrown. Trees were removed and stacked around the old fence.

THANK YOU C.J. and all your great volunteers !

     The (TCCRG) Tippecanoe County Cemetery Restoration Group is proud to share this
      project with this young man in his effort to reach Eagle Scout static.   C.J worked
      with fellow scouts and adults to clear out a great numbers of trees. We can now find
      the the early pioneer stones in this cemetery.   There appears to be nine or ten rows
      of stones along with most of the footstones.    His efforts along with many helpful
      hands will make our work easier in resetting and repairing these family monuments.
