This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Sharp, Webb Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AKB.2ACI/1258 Message Board Post: Since we have so many people with ties to the Webb Cemetery, I would like to post a project that I would like to undertake with anyone interested. There are 5 headstones that are broken in this cemetery and one of them is John Johnson Sharp. He was my 3rd great-grandfather. I have already talked to someone about how to repair these and he suggested using a 2 part epoxy. This has been purchased, but it turned cold weather and I have not been back over there. To sum it up, how would all of you like to set aside a Saturday and have a work-day at this cemetery. This could be made into a reunion of all us cousins and we could share information in person. My sister and I would help set this up if anyone is interested.

Hi, I hope this will come together, but, allow me to advise you to wait for warmer weather for your tombstone repair. Any type of epoxy needed dry warm temperture to set . When do decide todo this, let me know and I will post it on my Lafayette County MSGenWeb page. I have been interested in tombstone repair for a number of years. I have a book of instructions in my possession which a lady in Canada wrote three or four years ago and very kindly send me a copy. Plus, there are several web sites dedicated to this subject which is very good. One is owned by a man who is making this his profession now. I will look these up and also find my book and send you the address as to were to order it. 2 part Epoxy is not very durable, it will last awhile but not like some of the methods mentioned in this book. It would be better to take a portable drill with mason bit and six inch rods and drill into the bottom and top, place the rods in the bottom, then set the top up on it with the epoxy. If you are interested in me posting the address of the lady in Canada and/ or the web pages , let me know. I would be interest in helping here if some of you would assist me at the Crocker family Graveyard abt 8 to 10 miles west of the Webb on CR428 toward Paris.
