    3. Members of the Jeffersonville Jaycees will be joining us on Saturday morning, May 23, at McCLINTICK/SYLVESTER CEMETERY to continue the work begun by Judge Steven Fleece's Clark County Courts' Community Service Corps. The community service workers cut down several dozen trees a couple of weeks ago and the Jaycees have agreed to come help us this weekend as the restoration of this long-forgotten cemetery continues. Anyone who'd like to help is invited to bring a rake and join us at the site at 10:00 A.M. on Saturday, May 23. The cemetery is located in the 3200 block of Coopers Lane, adjacent to the I-265 overpass. The McClintick/Sylvester Cemetery website is at: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/5881/mcclintickcem.html On a different note, the owner of the property surrounding DIETZ CEMETERY in Monroe Township has asked the Clark County Cemetery Preservation Committee for its assistance in repairing the many broken stones at that site. We are still waiting for the property owner to build a road to permit us access to the old FRANCIS WELLS FAMILY CEMETERY in Silver Creek Township. Mr. Ballew has already agreed to let us clean up the old cemetery, where we hope to find quite a few buried stones. At present, only a single stone remains visible. The next meeting of the CCCPC will be on Saturday, June 6, 1998 at 2:00 P.M. at the Emmanuel United Methodist Church, 9199 Old State Road 3 in Otisco. The focus will be Oregon Township Cemeteries and ongoing projects. After the meeting, we will be visiting several Oregon Township pioneer cemeteries. Thanks.
