"Charleston Cemetery; a Look into Charleston's Past" will the  featured program presented by Diane Wargo Medina to the Lorain County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society on Monday, April 9, 2007 at the North Ridgeville Public Library, 35700 Bainbridge Road, North Ridgeville, OH. Diane Medina will relate the fascinating story of how her teenage curiosity of an all-but-forgotten cemetery near downtown Lorain lead to her life long project of restoring  this sadly neglected but historic cemetery. Diane's dedication has lead to the discovery of long buried tombstones, the gravesites of two of Charleston Villages' founding fathers, and the pursuit of family genealogies of the cemetery residents. Diane's work has lead to the elevation of the forgotten Charleston Pioneer Cemetery to Landmark Status by the Preservation Network of Lorain County.  Come join us to hear this remarkable story of one woman's commitment to preserving an important element of a town's heritage. Social Time is 6:30 pm; program and a general meeting at 7:00 pm. The public is invited to attend this free program.  For information about this program or about the Lorain County Chapter of OGS, contact Jean at 440-949-5167 or John at 440-933-9078. Thank you.
