Hello everyone!
I will be heading up a huge project this weekend (June 13th and 14th) and am in over my
head! With the help of three volunteer groups and individual community members (including
Larry Tippin--thank you!!) I will be leading the full restoration of Lingeman Cemetery
near Brownsburg in Hendricks County. This cemetery has been an eyesore for decades due to
vandalism and fallen trees. Only a few of the 100 stones are standing and almost half are
broken at least once. There is a lot of interest in this cemetery from neighbors, the
community and descendants, which is the reason why I finally agreed to take it on as a
project.
I would like to extend an invitation to anyone interested in helping out, especially some
of you experienced restorationists. Since we are attempting to finish the bulk of the
work in two days, we can use all the help we can get!
The project is June 13/14 from approximately 9am to 4pm each day. Come for an hour, come
both days, whatever you can do. No notification is required, just show up! Detailed
directions and map are on my Hendricks County INCPRP page, but basically the cemetery is
just a couple blocks SW of the intersection of 267 and 136. It is on Washington Street
(only goes west off of 267) and is hard to miss. For more information, email me at

Thanks!
