This is a letter that Steve wanted us to forward to the group in case any of the Coates can attend! Linda >Hello Linda and Charlotte, > >I wanted the two of you to be aware that there has been a pretty extensive >restoration of the Bush River Quaker Cemetery, going on for a while now. >There are plans currently in place to spend Saturday the 18th of June, >2005 to map and survey the Cemetery. The brush and trees have already >since been cleared and lawn mowed. I have attached a picture of the >Cemetery as it currently looks as well as a PDF file regarding the >restoration efforts. I was hopeful that one of, or both of you might be >able to join us, or at least send me some names of folks buried there, >most notably Coate(s) family members. I can try to keep a special eye out >for the headstones on these. Ultimately I'd love to find Benjamin >Pearson's place of burial, but am not counting on it. Take a look at the >attachments and please be sure to let your Quaker cousins know about this >especially on the Coats list if you would? Much appreciated!
