Since I see so many tombstones that are hard to read I would think it might be nice to have someting in the newslatter as to how to clean them or how to read what is inscribed when it is either worn or molded over. This may not be a good idea but it does interest me and someone in the group may know .

Some recommend plain water, but I can't easily get water to the remote abandoned cemeteries I have to hike to around here, so the stout horsehair (not wire) brush is my best suggestion! Cleo Hogan
