1. Re: [Old Bones CEMETERY-L] Finding old cemeteries [1]
Pardon me for the rather slow response to this posting, but I thought you all might like to know that quite often your State Historic Preservation Office has some involvement with historic cemeteries and nominations of historic cemeteries to the National Register. In Oregon the Oregon Pioneer Cemetery Commission, program of the State Historic Preservation Office, is currently doing a survey to determine the current condition and needs for repair or restoration of historic cemeteries statewide. The OPCC prog

Glad to hear you are ready to take on care of a family cemetery. Mine are in Iowa and far too far away for me to do much to help. However, here in Oregon I'm on staff at the State Historic Preservation Office specifically for the purpose of developing programs for the protection and preservation of historic cemeteries. There are two websites I would refer you to: www.gravestonestudies.org and www.oregoncemeteries.org. We expect to have one up for the OPCC in the next few weeks, but until then you might be
3. [Old Bones CEMETERY-L] John Walters -- Cemetery Restorer [1]
I tried to post this response last night, but there was a problem with one of the Rootsweb mail servers. I checked the Archives for this list and apparently this message never went through. The previous message about cemetery restoration mentioned JOHN WALTERS of Connersville, Indiana. You can reach John Walters ("Walt" to his many friends) at: graveyardgroomer@skyenet.net He is the former Cemetery Supervisor for Fayette Co., IN and one of the most gifted stone and cemetery restorers in the world. He is

Hi Sue, Yes I do have one in mind. I recently found my family's cemetery on land that was taken from them by the federal government to build a "dummy" airport in Richmond VA for the pupose of fooling the Germans into bombing the wrong airport. As ridiculous as it sounds, that was the pupose of the fake airport. The Germans could hardly make a trans-Atlantic flight, and there are certainly more important cites on the east coast than Richmond's airport! It tore the community apart, and separated t

I'm in California. I don't know what groups are available in Kansas, but if you are looking to start an organization to attend to the needs of this cemetery, I would suggest you contact Lois Mauk and the Indiana Pioneer Cemetery Restoration Project. They are at: INPCRP-L@rootsweb.com. They have a wealth of information about cemetery preservation, cleaning stones, etc. Also you might want to check our Saving Graves at www.savinggraves.com to see what else is going on in Kansas. My grandfather was born i

There are a lot of questions to answer, especially if you hope to have that many persons donate. Even more if you want them to respond to an assessment. Are you going to have a non-profit corporation to handle the money / taxes ? Some persons might prefer that since then they would have a tax deduction. A trust, such as some people use to avoid probate might be another possibility. Bank accounts need a IRS # now. One way to get that is to file an IRS form stating you are a "non-incorporated association".

Sue, thank you for responding to my query. I have relatives who died in the late 1800's buried in Pioneer Cemetery, including my great-great grandparents. The tombstones are covered with a yellowish green fungal moss, and on a rare occasion, someone mows the grass. I would like to know what can be safely used on the tombstones to clean them from the moss. I would like to have some suggestions as to establishing a cemetery maintainence organization, for the maintainance and upkeep of the cemetery and the
