The Browning Hill Cemetery in Browning Township Franklin County has been cleaned up. One of three trees has been cut up and moved that had fell in the cemetery. Two other trees are on the list to be cleaned up. Several of the Tombstones are down. Smaller ones will be put back up over the summer. There will be someone mowing the cemetery every two weeks to keep it in good shape. There are a few large stones that are down. One being Moses Buckner. Contact has been made with the Reynolds Monument company about getting the large stones back up and fixed on there bases. Three of the large Hammond stones are leaning and are in need of being fixed also. Photos of all the stones will be taken and sent to Sandy Bauer to be placed online. We will also be searching for other stones that are under the ground. Some of the small stones are broke into several parts. A lot of the stones have been moved around and are no where near where they are supposed to be. They will just be put back up in a row so that the can be preserved for the future. Thanks, Dale Houseworth
Dale, we have similar problems with some of the stones in the Logan Cemetery I have no idea where to start to see about having them repaired and/or set back up. You mentioned Reynolds Monument Co. Do you have any idea what they charge for these repairs?
