It is always encouraging news to read about a "Cemetery Restoration Levy" being passed at an Ohio Township!
This was the case for Franklin Township in Clermont County, Ohio. The funds are being used for restoration purposes at the Smyrna Cemetery and the Felicity Cemetery under their care.
Here is a link to this wonderful story!
"Smyrna Cemetery Restoration Project" by By Sabrina Schnarrenberg
Sharing an Excerpt from the story.:
"The Franklin Township Historical Society would like to thank the Franklin Township Trustees and the community members for passing the Cemetery Restoration Levy. Cemetery restoration has begun on the Smyrna Cemetery just outside of Felicity. Smyrna was a community founded by the Rankin Family and the Presbyterians in 1808; the most recent stone is of an infant who passed in 1816."
