Progress Report from Scott Andersen on his work at the Dean Cemetery - Buckskin Township, Ross County, Ohio

Scott Andersen will be sending progress reports this week about his current work at Dean Cemetery in Buckskin Township in Ross County, Ohio. 

Scott has visited Dean Cemetery in the past but is now working to unearth buried gravestones and clean away the overgrowth there.

 Click on title to access Dean Cemetery's memorials posted on "Find A Grave" where currently 21 are listed. 

Here is an excerpt from Scott's email today: 

"Found 22 headstones today at the Dean Cemetery. We worked for about four hours. Planning to do the same tomorow. We didn't try to read any of the stones today, just trying to locate as many as possible at this point. I 'll have another report tomorow."

Thank you Scott!

Looking forward to receiving your next report and later photographs you wish to share with us.

"Meet the Neighbors: Monroe Goes to War Edition returns and this time it is all about the Civil War. How appropriate since this year is the sesquicentennial of the start of that purging of our national pride. Monroe Street Cemetery is the resting place of over 400 veterans of the CW but also is the resting spot of an avid abolitionist who spoke at a memorial after John Brown was hanged, the operator of a stop on the Underground Railroad, the leader of the Fugitive Slave Society of Cleveland, and, believe it or not, a Confederate soldier. Remember the Civil War during this sesquicentennial year. Join us for a guided tour of Monroe Street Cemetery.

 

The Southern Ohio Genealogical Society's September meeting to be held on September 15, 2011 at 6:30p.m. at the New Market Baptist Cemetery in New Market Township, Highland County, Ohio

The information below provided by Bob Patton of the Southern Ohio Genealogical Society:

"Don’t forget the September meeting of the Southern Ohio Genealogical Society, which will be held Thursday, September 15 at 6:30 PM in the New Market Baptist Cemetery.

The topic will be cleaning and restoring old tombstones, and using mirrors and/or chalk to aid in reading very old monuments.

This is a topic which should be of interest to anyone who is into genealogical research.

The New Market Baptist Cemetery is located on East New Market Road, just a few hundred feet east of Route 62, in the village of New Market.

There will be very little walking. You may want to bring a folding lawn chair. Hopefully, an umbrella will not be necessary.

See you September 15 at 6:30."

Bob and Joyce Patton
