Hello all,
You are receiving this email as your last name is one of the family names buried at the CLAPP'S Factory Cemetery in Columbus, GA or owners of the factory. We need help for the cemetery in several ways:
There are several that we have not located any family (even distant). When I got involved with this in May, I didn't have family there simply started this as it was the right thing to do for my community. Last month after reading some of the genealogy compiled on some of the families, found out one of my distant cousins family was buried there. We try to share as much as information as we have found with anyone who has that line. Check out the following for what we have.

Hi all,
As I have bugged all of you with my emails [for those of you who may not have read them, each family name that I have sent this message to has a person with that name buried at the cemetery] about research on the Clapp Factory, Cemetery and Village, I thought I'd bug you again about the clean up and other wonderful progress we have made. On Saturday, March 29th from 8 - 6 the Clapp Factory Cemetery Preservation League (we are working on our incorporation papers and non-profit status) is having a clean the cemetery day. Any and all that are able to help us are welcome to help us. Just because we said 8 - 6 doesn't mean you have to be there all day. We'll take anytime that you can spare.
For purposes of March 29th, I would like to define "clean-up".
cutting and removing vines
picking up rubbish
raking and removing leaves We do not plan to try to clean the entire cemetery that day as the task would be impossible.
We need anyone who is coming to bring any of the following items:
rakes
clippers or snips
ax
shovel
small saw - for some of the larger vines
removing any fallen dead logs
Please mark your name on the items so that we can identify who they belong to in case you get separated. If you have gloves, would be a good idea to bring them. If you need directions, please let me know and I will send them out on an individual bases.

You can log on to it using the ID of cemetery_clapp with a password of "visitor". Please log off so others may view the info we have gathered.
Since the newspaper article on the "Urban Cemeteries" was written, we've had several new family contacts and GA Power is willing to work with us to get the cemetery straighten out. We're just going to keep on working towards getting it preserved.
Happy family hunting,
