----- Original Message ----- From: "glenn or june hopkins" <trxndx@bellsouth.net> Swinney Hopkins Cemetery ?or G.Wash Reed Cemetery? at/near Elgood, WV was in terrible shape my last visit a few years ago. Would there be any volunteers who would consider cleaning it up. >From the mid 1970's my uncle, Earl Hopkins and myself would spend hours cleaning, cutting, spraying and repairing the headstone of Mr. G.Wash Reed, placing white half-blocks where old creek headstones were, put up a four by eight sign and a memorial to our loved one, Pvt. Simeon D. Hopkins, there. One year later the sign was shot up, torn down, Mr. Reed's headstone was broken in several pieces, many half blocks were gone. Counting our memorial, Mr. Reed's headstone, and one handmade, inscribed stone were all that were legible. My uncle is now 82, and I moved near Atlanta, so we can't take care of it. If you or some organization would do that please contact me, Glenn D. Hopkins at: trxndx@bellsouth.net
