Stories
More than just names etched on headstones, these people left behind memories of lives to be shared with those of us who wish to remember.
​
Level 1
As one of the headstones in most critical need, this memorial must be removed to prevent further deterioration from the elements. Only 20 percent of the inscription is visible with the remainder lost to the eroded surface. The bottom of the stone and the reverse show blistering from water uptake. The solution required to prevent further delamination of the stone is currently on back-order status. Offsite repair work will take approximately 2-3 months to complete once the solution is available. When reset, the headstone will sit plumb, level, and at original height in a bed of crushed limestone to prevent further wicking of moisture from the surrounding soil. Sponsorship donation - $375
This gravesite is available for sponsoring and stewardship.
Elizabeth Griffin Headstone and Footstone
This beautifully ornate white marble tablet has broken into five pieces. All pieces will be removed from the grounds and allowed to dry in a conditioned space for 1-2 months. The stone will be cleaned and each piece will be reattached using a professionally approved epoxy mix. When reset, the headstone and footstone will both sit plumb, level, and at original height in a bed of crushed limestone. Sponsorship donation - $622.50
