First of all, I think you are missing the point. Yes, unfortunatly, they
have been restoring using concrete. We all know it's not a good thing, but who
are we to judge them when they have spent 6 years restoring a huge mess. This
is a cemetery that was bulldozed and pushed into a ditch, bodies and all, by
some idiot who lived near there.. .. The Madison Co. Cemetery Commission has
spent all these years working to restore it, after what was done to it, and
they have certainly researched it to full extent. They are very proud of what
they have accomplished and I think you should be a little more understanding
of the situation before assuming that they are just out there throwing stones
here and there. I know we all wish that every person out there is restoring
the cemeterys up to this group's standards, but let's face it, there are
hundreds of cemeterys needing restoration, and only a few people out there actually
doing the hard part. So, the choice is, you either restore with some not so
great techniques, or you just ignore it and let the cemetery stay in disarray
until it's finally gone all together. and as for lack of reaction from this
group, it may be because it was decided awhile ago that this was just a
message board, so many people arn't really getting involved in it anymore.
