How many people were hired to work at that location? Where were the wool bens and where did the clippers do their work? Who was employed at the Government control Dam in the Valley? Who cut all that grass in that bottom land? What other projects were being done within the town?

C o m m e n t s:Rules of Cemeteries are to be observed with reverence, when visiting in these cemeteries. Do not take rubbings, or any other method to get the information off the stones, even the acid from your hands, is destructive to the stones. In time it will destroy the surface of the stone where it, in time will not be readable. The best way to obtain data from the stone, is to purchase a camera at the store and take pictures close up. So that you have and can preserve the data from off the stones. Contact proper authorities for Services and Flag, placements.

Note:In cemeteries it is reasonable to have visitor registration booths, placements where the outside visitors may leave, comments, as to who they are looking for, and contact as to how they can be reached. For other means it is reasonable to contact the Historian for the town and or County, should one be assigned. Other means is the Federal snail Mail contact as shown. Another contact is the computer E-Mail and last is the phone contact should one be assigned, from the township.
