Fall Arrives at Muskalonge Cemetery.

For our third and final work party of 2012, there was much yet to do. We will include the photos in another post. We appreciate your continued support, and will continue work efforts in 2013, primarily, the placement of military headstones for those veterans whose stones are currently broken. Please check back in the spring for details. You may view those interred at this cemetery on Find A Grave, posted by our representative for your convenience. Thank you for your financial support!
