I heard from a few folks who could not make the meeting. Liz is in Colorado. Jerry could not make it and reports progress. The Grand Ledge library has a card file with index cards full of vital information for people. This could help him with details for his Oakwood (Oneida) reading. I would like to check with the library to see if they would allow us to scan the index cards, then that would provide possibly valuable information for the cemetery reading, and also many other names. Jerry has taken some photos of Pioneer and Union (views of the cemeteries) and will do some research to find information such as first burial for our website cemetery information page. Paula e-mailed map files of the Riverside cemetery and I forwarded these to Cyd, who is working on Riverside. Cyd could not make it and she may want to do the reading first, then complete the photos later. I think this is fine and I asked the group at the meeting their thoughts and they think it would be good to get the reading done too.
Phyllis has taken another 1300 photos and is now ready for the 'New' part. Phyllis asked me to show her how to rename the photos and we are meeting today at 10:00 at ECGS. She is getting toward the end of this cemetery.
Krys reported that she plans on doing Needmore. Diana and Krys have paired up to work on Gresham and I will go when I can. We have our first session on Monday evening. Sue would like to join when she can too. We will try using this blog to report work sessions and whoever can join can show up.
We discussed cleaning headstones and some of the tools we use were shown and discussed. Great discussion!
Thanks for coming to the meeting! Next meeting is the last Wed in September, September 29th at 7:00 at ECGS. Sherry
