Gone Graving

A simple repair can make a big difference. But even seemingly simple repairs like this take patience and countless tiny adjustments to make it just right. Gone Graving and I spent an afternoon in a small cemetery in Fairport, NY fixing a couple stones. Very pleased we were able to upright Eliza's stone, hopefully for another 136 years!

Repairing the headstone of Margret Freeman

Yesterday morning, I visited the Traver Cemetery in Tyre, New York, and found it in heartbreaking condition. Despite its historical significance, the cemetery has fallen into severe disrepair. It is the final resting place of eight Revolutionary War veterans and is home to the oldest monument dedicated to Civil War dead in Seneca County.

Yesterday I had the honor of repairing a Indian War veteran of 1838 at the Maple Grove Cemetery in Jordan, NY.

After the repair I spent the rest of the day in Clyde, NY. Scott and I uprighted one stone during the upright, we found 3 old G.A.R. flag holders. I'll donate the 2 old ones from the 1800s to the Museum of Wayne County History for their new military room.

I also walked Scott around the cemetery and showed him what he can do himself. Scott also got some yard signs made too. Thanks Scott, they look phenomenal! If you take a drive to the back of the Maple Grove Cemetery in Clyde, you can see one of them and 2 stones we are working on.
