I was at London,KY yesterday taking "before" documentation photos of the headstones at 13th St(Breastworks/City Cemetery). Helen Wildermuth,(Stonehugger Cemetery Restoration) and me,Mark Davis,(Stone Saver Cemetery Restoration) will be the principal restorationists of all the stones. We are being retained by the City of London and a KY grant to bring the cemetery back into pioneer cemetery standards.This should take place sometime this year after the archaeology work is completed. I would like any biographical,family history,unusual stories,burial info,obits,etc of any known burials. I also would like detailed military information about USA/CSA skirmishes/clashes within the immediate area of the cemetery. A large number of unmarked and fieldstone marked graves are present. If you have any information of unmarked burials that would also be invaluable.

The cemetery on top of the hill of 13th street was originally said to be the Jackson Cemtery with some of anscestors supposively burried there. I don't have any of my info with me now, but according to the excerpt in the Sentinel-echo about that cemetery I think I have a little history on at least one of the Jacksons buried there. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Davis To: KYLAUREL-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, January 23, 2005 4:03 PM Subject: [KYLAUREL-L] Restoration of 13th St(Breastworks/City) Cemetery I was at London,KY yesterday taking "before" documentation photos of the headstones at 13th St(Breastworks/City Cemetery).
