The Plan

Thought I’d fill you in on my “cemetery rescue plan”…which is more like a “gravestone rescue plan”. I spoke with the Pastor of the church my 4x great-grandfather founded and he is fine with us going in and cleaning up the area where my Greats are buried. He was unsure about cemetery regulations, but I pointed out that I’m not going to actually Move anything, just uncover them and try to piece them back together. He offered the help of the church, talked about a re-dedication service when we have finished, and asked me to give a little talk about Adam and my other grandfathers who were central to the history of their church.

This is what Emery Chapel looked like in 1854

We will drive Goldie back up to Yellow Springs next Sunday with shovels and trimmers and such, stay a couple of nights, and get as much done as we can.

Casey’s been splitting wood and I’ve been planting mums — very autumnal, doncha think?

Hope the sun is shining where you are…

Peace

  1. Yellow Springs, OH??? A place Janet and I spent a lot of time (and $$$) if it is in Ohio. No matter, enjoy the drive for a noble and sacred purpose. Bob W.

    1. I’m stalking you… Seriously, isn’t Yellow Springs a cool place? My great-great grandparents went to Antioch College in the 1850s and when it was in its infancy (and heyday). John Bryan SP where we camp is adjacent, all about 5 miles from the Chapel.
