Sheep Pen Cemetery in the Winter -- Photographs from Scott Andersen

I have never seen Sheep Pen Cemetery during the Winter, so these photographs below are quite special to me.

 I'm pleased to share these (unretouched) photographs that I just received from Scott Andersen who recently visited Sheep Pen Cemetery.  

Sheep Pen sits silent yet serene under this light dusting of snow. As it awaits the first warm day of Spring, we can ponder how the seasons may change but our respect for those buried on hallowed grounds, like Sheep Pen, abides.  

Thank you Scott!!!

During the morning we will have presentations from members. If you are interested in sharing information about your gravestone research, conservation projects, etc please let me know so I can get you added to the schedule.

We'll also have exhibit and sales tables set up. If you'd like to set up a table (it's free) please let me know that as well.

LUNCH MEETING:

While eating, we'll have our meeting portion of the day to discuss cemetery-related events around Ohio as well as plans for the Fall meeting.

**Please RSVP via facebook or e-mail if you're planning to attend.**

 

This will help us plan the amount of meeting materials and food to prepare.

 

 Also, please let me know if you're interested in presenting or setting up a table.

Since the chapter meetings are a means to increase awareness of and membership in AGS, if you have any friends who might be interested in the organization who are not yet members, please encourage them to attend!
