Cemetery Tour – Part 2
As you walk through the main gates along the service road the majestic Old Oak Tree can be seen spreading out over the south end of the cemetery.
The grave of Martha Ellison, the first grave established here, lies under the western edge of the Old Oak Tree.
The Flemming Family cemetery lies just to the south beyond the Old Oak Tree.
The cemetery is organized in 14 blocks. Blocks 1 – 8 are in the main area with Blocks A – F in the new area.
Block C in the new area was opened in the spring of 2011 as there are only a few grave sites available in the main area. While there appears to be many open plots in the main area most of them are reserved by families for future internment.

Headstone Photo Project – Phase 2
The editing of the photos is progressing slowly. So far we’ve processed 859 photos with 335 to go. We’ve also sorted out 63 photos that are either duplicate or unusable.
At this time we are renaming the photos to the family names so that we can load them into the database for each grave. We’re also enhancing the color to make them more readable. Lastly, we’re straighting and cropping the photos so the headstone is predominant in the picture just like the ones shown in the photo to the left.
We’re hoping to be halfway through the project by the 2012 Homecoming reunion. We will be bringing our computers to the Homecoming so family members can contribute more photos and Obituaries for their deceased loved ones.
More later.
