>From Patricia Parrish Austin: [email protected] Please reply to Patricia! ================================================================================== Vicki Shaffer (USGenWeb Coordinator for Gibson County, Tennessee: Barring an unforseen act of providence, a group of Gibson County researchers with kindred dead there interred, are going to start reading Hope Hill Cemetery to place on the Gibson County USGenWeb site. Hope Hill is east of Medina on Hope Hill Road with a Milan route. We propose to meet at Hope Hill this Wednesday about 9:30 a.m. It is my intention to photograph each marker for the Tombstone project, plus hope to finally wrangle a GPS from my spouse to delinate each marker's actual location. This will be time consuming, and I can't imagine that we'll do it in a day! Austin, my spouse has a metal fabrication business and made some of us wire probes years ago. We intend to probe for, and hopefully unearth a few markers that grass and time have covered. Vicki, do you have any suggestions? I've assisted in reading cemeteries so am not a novice, and make certain that any cleaning of markers is within archival parameters. Perchance, would there be others in the vicinity who wish to assist? As we are all dealing with chemotherapy, shingles, degenerative lumbar disease, etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseum, and numerous other perils of aging the group of us who plan to do this are going to remain flexible (well, that's a joke...i.e., the "flexible" part!!!) and all events will be subject to cancellation depending upon the vagaries of nature and physical debilation!
