"Volunteer Session - May 15, 2018"

"Small in numbers, but big in progress! That sums up our work session at the cemetery on May 15. We tried working in the shade as much as we could to avoid the heat and were able to straighten and repair a number of stones. 

Joining in were Scott Andersen, John King, Mike Anderson, and Harold Schmidt. Venus Andersen had another commitment, but was able to stop by with cold drinks.

Many thanks to ALL the volunteers who help throughout the years making this a very successful project.

More sessions will be planned for the future to continue this massive effort. 

If you would like to participate, check our website calendar for the next scheduled session."

760 Memorials are posted on "Find A Grave" for the Old Burying Ground in Greenfield.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

In the last month alone on "Find A Grave" there have been eleven new memorials, all with grave marker photos, that were added to the Old Burying Ground. 

This all-volunteer project started in 2014; and it is now in its fifth year! 
So many discoveries have been made!  Many rows of grave markers have been cleaned, repaired, or reset.  

This ongoing effort illustrates just how much can be accomplished by dedicated volunteers who have stayed the course over several work sessions.  They are truly an inspiration to any person or group who hopes to follow in their footsteps at a cemetery that needs to be restored and preserved.
