Nothing found except for personal satisfaction: Revisiting my cemetery restoration project.

[creskol]

I want to share a photograph of my cemetery restoration efforts. All the white markers with black plaques are ones I have made for previously unmarked graves. It has taken countless hours of research to accomplish this and countless hours locating the graves, but my efforts have been gratifying. I still have a long way to go, but since this is a volunteer effort without pay, I don't work on it full-time. I have included a photo of two of the plaques so you can see what they look like.

I am pretty sure you will be rewarded for your works. I am also sure you have gotten some already. Bless you for your efforts.

Nice work and nice of you to do that. Has any of the family members of the deceased reached out to you for doing this?
