We have the go ahead from Oak Grove Cemetery to clean stones there Tuesday, July 20 from 3-7pm. This is an "open house" type atmosphere - come when you can; leave when you must! I will have drinking water available. If you plan to clean stones, please bring a sprinkling can or bucket that you can lift when filled with water. Also if you have a stiff (NOT METAL) scrub brush to bring along to help, that would be great! If you plan to take digital photos, please bring a digital camera. If you plan to help re-transcribe tombstone data, then please bring yourself! In any event, wear old clothes, sunscreen and mosquito repellent. Oak Grove is located at 1407 La Crosse St. If it is thundering/lightning, we will have to cancel or if there is a funeral. Go through the Losey arch at the entrance to the cemetery and follow the signs in the cemetery to section 32/41 where the Civil War memorial is. I will have a table near there. This will be our last "group" effort in the cemetery this year. If you are interested in going out on your own independently I can help you there. We have cleaning kits available for "check out" from the Archives desk or I can give you a map and a section to re-transcribe or photograph. Thanks for all your help! -- Anita Taylor Doering Archivist La Crosse Public Library 800 Main St. La Crosse, WI 54601-4122 Phone: 608-789-7156 Fax: 608-789-7106 web site: http://www.lacrosselibrary.org/genealogy/index.asp genealogy databases: http://www.lacrosselibrary.org/genealogy/historicevents.asp digitized La Crosse history: <http://lacrossehistory.org/> http://lacrossehistory.org
