Walter, I know John F. Moore fairly well. I'll give him a call about the cemetery he mentioned to you. As to cleaning the site: the help we are getting now is over extended just looking for the cemeteries. Once this is completed and sites marked on the tax maps we hope we will have generated enough interest that folks will jump in to clean, catalog etc. Right now we have as much as we can handle getting our to find the sites while the foliage is still off the bushes and trees.
