Lainey, The documentation will include "before" photos,"after' photos, and a survey sheet of every stone restored. The info will include the condition of the stone,repairs made,dimensions of the stone,type of stone(marble,granite,etc), the complete inscription and epitaph, and any additional info that we feel is necessary. We will have 2 sets of books...One goes to the funding agency, and one we keep for ourselves. Usually we correct about 10-20% of the current listings because the stones are so much more readable after restoration and cleaning. The current stone count is around 160,with about 100 fieldstone markers and about 100 unmarked graves. The archaelogy GPR report will define the disturbed dirt strata and show up as a possible burial but will not determine if an actual burial is present(ex: reinterred CW soldiers that were later buried at Camp Nelson Natl Cemetery) Mark Davis Stone Saver ----- Original Message ----- From: <sewnsews@mail.rose.net> To: <KYLAUREL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 26, 2005 7:25 AM Subject: Re: [KYLAUREL-L] Restoration of 13th St(Breastworks/City) Cemetery > Is this cemetery also known as Cemetery Hill?
