Brad-  Please post to list- thank you! ATTN: Saturday 6/21/14 - 9:00 a.m. Help save the past at Troy's oldest Catholic cemetery. St. Mary's, Brunswick Rd. (Rte 2).  I am taking volunteers to right gravestones in the old sections, clean them off, and record the information on them to donate to TIGS. This is a very important project due to the loss of all records of St. Mary's prior to 1900. These stones may be invaluable to someone searching for their ancestors, and the only hope they have. So any help, whether physicallly prying up the stones, or just washing them down, or holding a pad and paper, would be helpful. If you can bring your own tools it's a great help. I find that a crowbar/prybar and a long handled icechopper and a shovel are good items to have. Work gloves are a good idea. We will only tip stones we feel are tippable without machinery. Also the ground will probably be dewy, and uneven. Recorders can bring a pencil and paper, and I hope to have some cleaning agents and spray tanks available for cleaners. We could always use water and soft bristle brushes if you have them.  I'll provide ice cold waters.  I think that with a dozen or more people, we could knock off the entire Old Sections of 1-7 and A,B,C in a few hours.  Some sections have few tipped stones. If interested, contact Barry Considine at bcon1112@yahoo.com, or for any questions. Thanks!
