Hello L A Clugh- Thank you for your comment on my post about the 2-grave Wheaton Cemetery near Portage MI. I thought a post about a restoration project, with a little levity and purpose, might serve as a reminder of why we do what we do. It seems many INPCRP members have gone "Trump" over John Walters and Nyalox (sp?) brushes. I appreciate your recent attempt at calling order. Boy did that ever poke a stick into a hornets nest. I'll try to keep my posts about my Cemetery work, and include points of INPCRP essence. Thanks for all you do- Bruce Wheaton Sent from my iPhone

If you want to do it right you should put in a concrete foundation at least 30" deep so that someone doesn't have this same problem 10-20 years down the road. Sand and gravel is fine for a small marker but something this size should be on concrete. My opinion, of course. Kyle D. Conrad Iroquois Valley Monuments In a message dated 11/28/2014 8:39:59 A.M.

Try this:   Genealogy Grant Program The Indiana Genealogical Society (IGS) has established the Genealogy Grant Program to support Indiana genealogists and genealogical societies. The Society plans to award a $500 grant each year in three categories, for a total of $1500 annually. The three categories are as follows— 1. Cemetery Restoration Grant : A $500 cash award to an Indiana genealogical or historical society for a project to restore and/or renovate an Indiana pioneer cemetery. 1. Resource Development Grant : A $500 cash award to an Indiana genealogical or historical society for a project to develop a new Indiana genealogical resource in either a printed or electronic format. 1. Chapter Resource Grant : A $500 cash award to an IGS Chapter Society for a project to support the operation of that society.        Societies interested in applying for any of the three grants should visit the IGS website and print out this Genealogy Grant Application Form. The following restrictions apply to all grant categories— 1. All work on the grant project must be completed within twelve months of the grant award. 2. The grantee society must provide a written summary report to the IGS following the project completion. 3. A society may only receive one grant from the Program per grant year, although that society may apply for more than one grant type each year. 4. Applicants must complete all parts of the Application Form. The IGS Board of Directors will evaluate the submitted applications. The Board decision on the grant awards will be final. The application deadline for each grant year is December 31 . Grant approval notifications will be announced following the next IGS Board meeting. Checks will be presented at the IGS Annual Conference. Note: The IGS may elect not to award a grant in a category, if, in the opinion of the IGS Board, a suitable project has not been proposed in that category.
