Announcing Spring Clean up Day, March 18th, at the Old Greencastle Cemetery - Dayton, Ohio



Sharing from Traci Muller Rylands:

"The Sons of Union Veterans, Sherman Camp #93, are having a cleanup day at Old Greencastle Cemetery in Dayton on Saturday, March 18, and are in inviting the public to join them.

These fellows (some pictured below) do a great job, so I hope they will get a big turn out.

 Many of my ancestors are buried there so it has a special place in my heart."
