Although, not much has been posted on this site. Work is well under way at the cemetery. Two hold over lots from last year will be finished soon and numerous smaller stones have been completed. The main focus is on the road side next to Route 85. Hopefully at the end of the season the complete perimeter of the cemetery will be finished and the center portion left for next year.
On Friday, 09 June 2017, Joe Ferraninni from Grave Stone Matter was brought in to upright two large obelisks. One was in danger of falling and the other had already fallen down a hill. For a complete story on the repair of these obelisks see the following link, here at my other site, Finding Your Past: Genealogical Gleanings with the Albany Grave Digger
A very big THANK YOU!!! goes out to Fred; who again gave a very nice donation to this project! It is donations such as these that are keeping this project moving forward. Although, the donations/checks are written out in my name, ALL of these monies are applied towards materials needed to repair and upright the gravestones, and maintain these areas. I take nothing except the satisfaction that the place is starting to take shape and look better.
