    1. Renovo Cemeteries
    2. Hello list, I am the chair of the Clinton County Genealogical Society Cemetery Project commitee. A number of dedicated volunteers have been working over the past year at the recording of the cemeteries of Chapman Township, Clinton County, and Renovo Borough, Clinton County. Credit must be given to Gloria and Jack Harbach, Joyce Diehl, Wendy LeVan, Gerri Eisenhauer, Dave Wallace, Vivian Welch, Steve and Barb Zimmerman, Jerry McCloskey, and myself for the copying of the inscriptions. (I hope I didn't omit anyone's name). We have all but two copied. Those we have recorded are: 1. McCloskey Family 2. Hyner (a/k/a Old Methodist) 3. North Bend 4. Youngwomanstown (a/k/a Old North Bend/Presbyterian) 5. Fairview at Farwell The only two which need recorded are the old St. Joseph Catholic on Drury Run (no longer active), and St. Joseph Catholic (still in use). We plan to inventory the first named cemetery, which is in a wooded area and is a habitat for snakes, during the month of October, when the weather will be cooler. The CCGS plans to have the cemeteries published in book form sometime in 2001. We have a publications committee working with the cemetery committee toward that end. Thanks are also given to one of our members, Bob Schadt, who has typed up the cemetery lists and compared them to his own database of Clinton County graves (some of which are unmarked), to add to what we have. At the present time I have the records of the above named cemeteries. The CCGS cemetery project vice-chair, Dave Wallace (the listowner), also has a copy, as does our typist and comparer, Bob Schadt. Both of them are well known on this list. Incidentally, if anyone is interested in helping with the cemetery project, drop me a note.

    3. Justin, I'm much too far away to visit the cemeteries personally, but if you need help typing (or anything else I could do long distance), I'd be glad to pitch in.
