I'm in California. I don't know what groups are available in Kansas, but if
you are looking to start an organization to attend to the needs of this
cemetery, I would suggest you contact Lois Mauk and the Indiana Pioneer
Cemetery Restoration Project. They are at:
INPCRP-L(a)rootsweb.com.
They have a wealth of information about cemetery preservation, cleaning
stones, etc. Also you might want to check our Saving Graves at
www.savinggraves.com to see what else is going on in Kansas.
My grandfather was born in Kansas and my g-grandfather on my grandmother's
side was an early pioneer of Kansas. I hope you will check on what the good
folks in Indiana are doing and follow their list. I apologize for not know
what their web address is for their web site, but you could search on their
name.
Good luck.

Sue, thank you for responding to my query. I have relatives who died
in
the
late 1800's buried in Pioneer Cemetery, including my great-great
grandparents. The tombstones are covered with a yellowish green fungal
moss, and on a rare occasion, someone mows the grass. I would like to
know
what can be safely used on the tombstones to clean them from the
moss. I
would like to have some suggestions as to establishing a cemetery
maintainence organization, for the maintainance and upkeep of the cemetery
and the tombstones within. There are approximately 50 interments there.
What would be a fair monthly donation to solicit for members of the
Cemetery
Maintainence Association/Organization?
Thank you for any/all help.
I greatly appreciate the fact that this list exists, and hope to learn
much
from this list. The above cemetery, Pioneer Cemetery is located on
the
outskirts of Baldwin City, in Douglas County, Kansas. Thank you for
providing this wonderful educational list.
Ruth
