.. which will also turn into a lengthy restoration project. Any guesses as to what this project might be?

And it doesn't involve the piece of equipment seen in the background.

Are you going to be able to replace the headstones where they belong? sometimes you can find records, sometimes not. lots of info has been lost to fires back in the day. it is awesome to be able to clean up a site like that and get everything back in its proper place. good luck Sir!

Creskol that is awesome that you would take the time to try and restore that old cemetery. Even just cleaning it up was nice of you. Best to you. Take care.

Greetings .. Thanks .. Yes, I think I have found enough of the footstones with the initials in them that are still somewhat in place or broken off and I will be matching the headstones with them. The others are close to their bases but I haven't found their footstones yet. I am hopeful I will be able to probe for them this afternoon.

Thank you all for your nice comments and encouragement on this project. I really enjoy doing projects that save a little history, and this one is no exception. I will post updates as the project moves forward.
Thanks again everybody.
