Progress this week at Old Brick Cemetery includes - - found rocks sitting edge-ways, exactly 40 feet apart, along the south fence, which after measuring for awhile, and comparing with the stones, I realized were place there to mark rows. This will enable me to correct my "blueprint," as the alley apparently was only 4' on the three sides, and the rows (grave spaces) apparently 10' long rather than 11' as I had thought. This may enable me to be more accurate with my probing for stones in the future. Since work on the new fence could begin soon, and the fence row could be graded, I decided to cut off 6" pieces of PVC pipe and drive them into the ground to mark the rows on the south side (started, but not done yet). I also drove a fence post at the correct spot for the southwest corner of the fence (the old fence had that corner rounded off). - Elizabeth Cravens stone is now reset, mortared in, cosmetic work to seal cracks or breaks done, and basically finished. Almost all stones are standing now, but the temperature has to be well above freezing at night before mortar work is advised. - Annabel Wyatt stone is now basically finished, including cosmetic work on the cracks on the stone, and the break which has been epoxied back together. Cosmetic work on Minerva Kimbrough stone also finished. - White crosses made of PVC pipe set at the head of five unmarked graves. - Fence and barbed wire has now been removed on the north and west sides (east side was already removed), and rolled up, ready to be hauled off to the junk. South fence has not yet been removed. - Apparently Mr. Hartweg filled in the big swail on the trail coming to the cemetery on the path along his field, sometime this summer; I didn't realize it until today. It is now smooth sailing to come in that way; a truck loaded with rip-rap for the creek bank erosion could easily come in now. Besides the beautiful fall colors, I notice the sheep several places between my home and the cemetery. Yesterday, a black horse was standing at the edge of the road near the wooden bridge when I arrived. I've seen pheasant, quail, wild turkey, deer, etc. No wonder hunters know where the cemetery is. I'm not sure when hunting season begins, but I don't plan to be there, as last year I saw deer jumping 20 feet in the air, bounding across the field, and then heard shots. Best wishes, Robert
