Greetings, friends, I thought I would give a brief update on the progress made over the past couple months. It can be summed up fairly briefly. The bases and obelisk stone for Margret Printy is completely done: primary base painted with cement, secondary base mortared on, and obelisk stone mortared on; Darius Munson's stone completely done: mortared into its new cement base; Lucretia Munson stone: Base dug around, ready to be pulled up (to level it) with a log chain; Isaac and Emma Langley's granite stone set up on its granite base; Tolman primary base leveled; Roxanna Gridley/Horrace Gridley/Jessie Barnum base leveled, secondary base mortared on, and bottom part of obelisk stone mortared on (top part of the broken stone is ready to be epoxied on); Annabell Wyatt base leveled, secondary base mortared on, and bottom part of obelisk stone mortared on (top part of the broken stone is ready to be epoxied on); Daniel Hamilton stone completely done: mortared into its new cement base; Hannah Wardwell stone mortared into its original base (top part of the stone ready to be epoxied on). I've taken digital photos of most of these. When I get photos which I'm satisfied with, I'll send them on to Shawnnee for the county website. Had a construction company owner go with me and check the Cravens stones at Moss Ridge, which are to be moved back to Old Brick. In 1986, when they were moved to Moss Ridge, they were set in a wet cement slab (a "no-no" according to every professional pioneer cemetery restorer), too close together, and with too thick a base for an ordinary cement saw. Consensus seems to be that a larger company with a cement saw which can cut through 18" of cement will be needed for this job. I haven't been able to probe for more stones, because the ground has been too hard, but we had a good rain last night. Recently made a trip to a cemetery in McDonough county at the site of a log church building used by a Primitive Baptist congregation organized in 1831, which we may be able to restore. Also attended the dedication of the Green Plains highway marker on Saturday morning. Robert
