I helped my father reset,level,clean,restack and remortar 11 headstones that were all pre
1870 burial dates in Eagletown cemetery in Eagletown(not to confused with Little Eagle
Creek Cemetery),Hamilton county,IN this week. I used the Walt Walters mortar mix recipes
and found everything to be in great shape the day after we had completed the work. We are
going to try to do the entire cemetery during this summer(maybe 130 stones to go).
Probably a little optimistic on getting it entirely done but it needs attention. Most of
my Stuart ancestors are buried there and I would like for those stones to be there so my
descendants can see them in 100 years.
I plan on straightening and cleaning all the veteran stones as soon as possible. We are
planning on adding a 18 foot flag pole and flag before Memorial Day.
Photos are being taken and I will send them to Lois when we get a few more done.
If anyone has questions about this cemetery I would be glad to share the burial info.
