Theresa, It's tentatively scheduled for Monday Sept. 13 at 6 or 7 pm. I'm waiting to hear back from Walt about his schedule for that day. She said that it could be done at any of the city council meetings, which I believe are every Monday evening. I'll let you know when it's confirmed.

Jessica, This sounds like a great project. Will you need adult volunteers to work with the students? Will the Township Trustee who is responsible for the cemetery pick up the cost of some cleaning supplies? The Trustee is certainly getting a good deal with the free labor. If the cemetery has not been added to the Indiana Pioneer Cemetery and Burial Ground Registry, your class could complete the survey sheets. Contact Jeanie Regan-Dinius of the DNR division of Historic Preservation and Archeology for info. There is some grant money available through the DNR-DHPA. Jeanie can tell you if the project would qualify for that. [email protected] Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana and the Indiana Humanities Council sponsor Heritage Preservation Education Grants. You can check these out at www.historiclandmarks.org/help/grants/.html or www.ihc4u.org/hpeg.htm The Indana Historical Society has educational material available that may help with research. www.indianahistory.org Rhonda Stoffer, LA Clugh, and others on this list have done similar projects, so maybe you will hear from them.

The principal would also like me to continue doing this three times a year with each group of art students. Anyone have any ideas of people to contact for support? Grants that could be applied for?

It's a township owned cemtery, most burials from 1850-1870, was an old Quaker Friends meeting hall, structure is now gone, being mowed by the township trustee but that's it, stones are in really bad shape, I saw about 100 stones above ground--there's supposed to be over 200 graves.

Jessica, I applaud you for taking on such a task. This is a great way to start educating young people of the importance of our cemeteries. Vandalism and abuse are ignorance, and ignorance ends with education. I wish you the best of luck. Please keep the group informed.

--=======680B19A4======= Content-Type: text/plain; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-21945FEA; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Most school districts have an administrator who specializes in grant writing, and who should know the possible grantors that might be appropriate. Your principal might know who this would be. If that approach draws a blank, I know an administrator in a neighboring county who has successfully obtained grants on behalf of a cemetery project involving student efforts and preservation. The difference is that the cemetery is on school property, but otherwise there are similarities. Email me privately if you need information from the individual outside your corporation.

Hendricks County should have there own Community Foundation. I wouldn't have suggested it unless I had already completed a grant.. Where I live the in Delaware Co., they have a Community Foundation. I wrote a grant and through the Delaware Co Historical Society, which handles all the money, we received got some great "seed" money for cemetery restoration. Go for it.

If you do not mind, I would like to brag about an upcoming event. United Way, under the Volunteer Action Committee in Kokomo is sponsoring their 13th Day of Caring on Saturday, September 11, 2004. "Times are tough and good volunteers are hard to find, but they will have hundreds of them ready to assist your organization with just about any project on your wish list." This morning the Kokomo Tribune came out to one of our township cemeteries to take action pictures for a preview story before the event. I was shocked that they called me and wanted an interview. Needless to say, I went on and on about the need to restore our cemeteries, etc. back to their proper form. I also gave them scout leaders names who have helped in the past, etc. This is my 3rd time using United Way - the results have been fantastic! This may be a good resource for your area.

WOW! Isn't that great? How often do you all go out and do your good deeds and get NO recognition by the local governments? This is precedent setting, I'll bet and you should try to capitalize on it by showing other local govs that preservationists and government CAN cooperate for the better good!

Jack, I just wanted you to know--The article the Tribune printed about the cemetery was submitted by me over two weeks ago. So some of the info is already old. I'm truly glad about this cemetery.

Jack, Thank you very much. I talked to J. just before she left the office for her vacation. Her information and what you have given me today have helped very much. We appreciate it and will let you know our progress. Tom

Tom, Jeannie went on vacation Tuesday the 17 of August. You may want to contact Amy Johnson, an Archeologist who will be the contact person until Jeannie gets back. Amy's phone number is 317/232-1646 you apparently need to see about help quickly. The Loggers could easily cross over into the cemetery, since there is no fence or markers. Some of those trees are 75-100 years old and a mistake could easily be made. No one can see the site from the highway. Jack E. Briles Sr.
