The Scioto County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society's cemetery preservation project was highlighted in a recent news article from "communitycommon.com"
*******************
"An on-going project has been to locate and document cemeteries of Scioto
County.
We plan this year to acknowledge the caregivers of the
cemeteries and have some “Wanted Posters” for cemeteries that have been
forgotten or neglected in the area with “ADOPT A CEMETERY PROGRAM”.
Do
you know a cemetery that needs a little T.L.C. would you or a group like
to donate time to cleanup or cut grass?
Do you know someone who is
already doing this? We would like to say “Thank you” to them for their
hard work.
Please let us know and send us an e-mail to sccogs@sccogs.com
We have a member who joined our society because they came to hear our
speaker about Gravestone Care. They wanted to learn because they had
found a cemetery they had been cleaning up.
Yes we have some wonderful
people who see a need and want to help. We also have wonderful city
workers and township officials who care for our cemeteries that need to
know we appreciate what they are doing."
