    3. Just a reminder- We are back in the Woodmansee Cemetery this Saturday Morning 8AM-12PM. Shovels, mattox, gloves, water, and bow saw or hand saw look like the tools of choice for general work. I will bring the pipe clamps, bar clamps, tombstone repair accoutrements and a spud bar . After seeing how Reading dealt with the Super Walmart and the old farm burial ground at route 42 and Sharon road in the 5/28/2006 Enquirer working at the Woodmansee Cemetery is a worthwhile effort. It looks like moving old cemeteries consists of putting all the bones you find in 1 grave in a new cemetery, making a spectacle for the news coverage and forgetting the names of those people buried in the old cemetery. No tombstone was mentioned or "recovered." George Woodmansee, a descendant of James Woodmansee d 1818, living in Florida and real support for the cemetery preservation, will be at the Cemetery Saturday to work. You can pick up some Woodmansee history this Saturday. Dick Haid, descendant of David Griffis d 1829, works at the cemetery regularly and is a wealth of Griffis history. See you Saturday- Caroline Huppi chuppi@cinci.rr.com Website
