PROGRAM: "Cemeteries and Gravestones" We will be privileged to hear 3 members of the Society speak

about several important aspects of making the most of our cemetery discoveries. First, RENEE SMITH will tel 1 us about the 2 kinds of cemeteries, how to locate them, what to do when you find them, and how to prepare the gravestone for copying and photographing. Then HELEN LU wfll speak on what can be done about unmarked graves, and how to acquire government markers for veterans. MARGARET ANN SMITH (a Past President of the Society) will give us some intriguing information on how to make concrete markers-- a do-it-yourself project for those of us who are lucky enough to find those important (though unmarked) graves. Sounds like a very interesting and useful program - JOIN US!
