    3. The restoration of the Jarvis Jackson/13th Street/Breastworks Hill Cemetery in London,KY is now completed. The documentation books have been given to the Laurel Co. Historical Society located in the basement of the old City Hall in London,KY. During the restoration all the fieldstones were reset,101 limestone markers with no inscription were placed on burials where GPR(Ground Penetrating Radar) had shown ground disturbance and burial shafts, and approximately 150 inscribed stones were reset,repaired, and cleaned. The documentation includes "before" and "after" photos, and a survey sheet of each stone with a description of the condition,dimensions,type of stone,repairs and inscription. Some of the original listing information have been corrected in the documentation,some information has been added, and an Excel spreadsheet listing has been included in the documentation. One additional Civil War veteran was identified,John Taylor, KY Infantry(Union). US flags were placed on all the veteran burial sites. Thanks to those from London,KY who came by to check on us and give us additional clues and information.
