Can someone help me.I am trying to get permission to restore an old
cemetary to no avail so far.The town trustee is giving us a large
hassle.Anyways I have noticed 2 soldiers buried here on the records and
can't find the actual stones so I assume these men's stones are unreadable
now.Is there a place I can notify about this so I can get the rights to
restore the cemetary and get the rights for these 2 men to be honored
right.Please someone I need help.
