Happy Labor Day & Sharing This Update about the Product D2

First, I would like to wish everyone a Safe and Happy Labor Day today!  

Labor Day is a day set aside to honor all those who labor obviously.  So, to learn more about the history of Labor Day click on the title which links to the  U. S. Department of Labor's website where you can read a chronolocgial account of how this national holiday got started.  There certainly are some fascinating historical facts to ponder as we prepare to enjoy our activities in the company of friends and family.

On the subject of "Labor" today, I would also like to share this information provided by Mr. Jonathan Appell, particularly with those whose work is focused on gravestone restoration.  His comments are posted under the category of "Gravestone and Monument Preservation" on the website:  "linkedin."

"There has been some recent confusion about the status of the product D2 Biological Cleaning Solution. After a minor issue with bottling it is now available at the following locations.

I do not normally like to endorse specific products, but D2 is unique. It has performed very favorably with the testing conducted by the NCPTT, and I have employed it in my workshops and projects for many years."

The Pioneer Cemetery in Port Jefferson, Shelby County, Ohio is Forgotten No More.

Click on title to read about how Rhonda and Rich Wade of Port Jefferson, Ohio are tackling the task of piecing together gravestones that have long been broken and forgotten; except by the Wades of course who are moving full steam ahead with their restoration project.  

They have been digging up stones as well as making sense of what is left of pieces of gravestones that were heaped in piles on the burial ground.  The Wade couple also have enlisted the help of others including local Boy Scouts.

This story is from "The Press-News" in Stark County, Ohio that was originally published in the "The Sidney Daily News" - Published: August 25, 2012 6:43PM.  This very well written account was penned by Melanie Speicher.

Currently, "Find A Grave" has 76 burials at the Pioneer Cemetery in Port Jefferson, Ohio.  There are 3 photo requests for gravestone photos for the following people buried at the Pioneer Cemetery:  

David Gerard, Florence Gerard, and Stephen Dye.  I encourage area "Find A Grave" photo volunteers to visit the Pioneer Cemetery as those grave markers may now be visible. 

I think the scope of the story and the accompanying picture showing Mr. Wade bending down and trying to match up pieces of stones in order to re-create each one as it once was, will certainly inspire many of us to maintain patience and perseverance no matter how daunting a cemetery restoration project may appear.  Making strides one step at a time and one tombstone piece at a time to ensure history will not be lost is one approach that works!
