RESTORATION PROJECT


This project was made possible by Julian Fender who surveyed the cemetery in August 2012 assessing the condition and afterwards coordinated with local resident Tim Ledford to clear off and restore the cemetery.  Restoration efforts included removing all the overgrown vegetation, disposing of the garbage and debris, repairing, reinstalling any knocked over tombstones and counting the field stones.  This was completed on September 4, 2012.  All photos taken by Julian Fender.
