Cemetery Project Meeting May 25 2011

We had a great meeting tonight!  Thanks to Marcy, Jerry & Vicki, Joyce and Phyllis for looking at headstone photos with me to help decide what is on them!  One of our bigger topics of discussion tonight was the use of flour (yes... baking flour) on headstones to enhance the names, dates and other information.  It is especially useful on granite headstones, but is helpful on most.  Following is an example of a headstone where we could not see the information very good because it blended in with the granite, then we put flour on it.  (I should have taken a 'before' picture!)

The June cemetery project meeting is being canceled.  I will send out an e-mail reminding people that it has been canceled.  Hope to see you back the last Wednesday in July!

The Eaton Rapids Historical Society hosted a tour of Rosehill cemetery a week or so ago.  Phyllis will see if there is any information we can get a copy of about notable people in the cemetery.

I have (yet another) list of cemeteries and the status of the photos for the entire cemetery and for the symbol project, and for the website information pages.  I will get this updated and post it.
