This message is to let listers know about a tombstone restoration workshop
that will be held on Saturday, May 22nd, from 9-3, at Mt Olivet Cemetery
south of the village of Catlin in Florida Twp, Parke Co IN.
Helen Wildermuth of Stonehugger Cemetery Restoration and Mark Davis of
Stonesaver Cemetery Restoration will be instructors for the on-site
workshop. No registration, just come to learn current best practice repair
techniques.
Directional signs will start on the southwest corner of the square in
Rockville. Mt Olivet is located on the Rockville-Rosedale Road (Market
Street). It is not hard to find.
The workshop is part of an on-going restoration at Mt Olivet
Cemetery, where 30 tombstones will be repaired during the last two weeks
in May. The Parke County Community Foundation provided the majority of the
funding for this project as a grant to reward volunteer efforts in the county.
Participants to this free workshop should bring sack lunches and
drinks. Bug spray and sun screen is advised. Questions?

Mt Olivet Cemetery Association
