For Jerry, please!

 

Jerry,

 

Below is some information about the upcoming clean-up day for the Children's Home Cemetery. I have asked Peggy what sort of equipment people need to bring and will let you know in hopes that you will pass the word to those who might be interested in helping.

 

Do you know the origin of the name for the cemetery? I want to make sure I have the story straight. As I recall, the cemetery was started to serve an orphanage but was later opened to the community. Please correct me and/or provide additional information. Peggy's cousin asked me about it.

 

I'm copying this to Judy in case the museum's AOL account doesn't get checked regularly.

 

Thanks!

 

Diane

Hello Dianne ,

        Anita my cousin told me she had heard from you and I have announced the cleaning every where that I know to  . Lisa Franklin ,Joan Hidle and I will be there around 9;00 am on the 28th of Nov. I have a cousin Freddie Odom who said he might come . I don't know of any one else ,but am looking for a good turn out ! 

       I notice that you were a Davis ?  My husbands mother was a Davis and she is related to the Steeles that are buried there .Peter Steele was her great uncle. His wife Emily Carter was my great grandfathers sister.

       Good to hear that people are finding out about the cleaning ,Peggy

I went to a cemetery in the Children's Home Community about 10
years ago--maybe longer.
We had to look for it, and ask locals where it was located. It was completely
grown up. It goes way out into the woods.
It was in a shameful condition. This must be the same cemetery.
I don't remember the name.
