Their directions were precise and accurate and it was indespensible in my research. I would like to see the society receive permission to update the Bryans Upper Colleton Cemeteries book. So much work was undertaken that shouldn't have to be duplicated. As for errors, there are quite a few - but through the test of time we researchers have managed to pick out each and every error and argue them over until we're all satisfied with the correct entry. This "bug-testing" would be valuable if they were to re-do the Bryan's book. I would like to see more emphasis place on identifying and PRESERVING the endangered graves that exist. Particularly those of veterans of all our wars. These gravesites that exist on private lands. Perhaps public pressure, if applied correctly by local groups could induce some measure of protection not currently afforded to these little spots. Encouraging property owners to set aside that small bit of land and allow it to be protected should be top priority. As the years pass and development begins as it inevitably will, we may well lose the chance. As long as a cemetery is in existance it can be inventoried. Save now, inventory later.
