The Dearborn County Historical Society will host an informational
meeting for people who are interested in the approximately 150 pioneer
cemeteries in the county. The meeting will be at the Historical
Society's Vance House, 508 West High Street, Lawrenceburg, IN 47025-1916
at 1 p.m. Saturday November 11. Invitations are being sent to all
townshiop trustees, also. We are hoping the result will be formation of
an organzation to concentrate on restoring our old cemeteries, and
perhaps able to provide volunteer help to our hard pressed trustees,
several of whom have been trying to work on the ones in their townships.
Current Indiana cemetery laws will be discussed, as will the Pioneer
Cemetery Restoration Project. Anyone who would like to attend is
cordially invited. We welcome your input. Chris McHenry

THIS IS A CEMETERY -----
"Lives are commemorated - deaths are recorded - families
are reunited - memories are made tangible - and love is
undisguised. This is a cemetery.
"Communities accord respect, families bestow reverence,
historians seek information and our heritage is thereby enriched.
"Testimonies of devotion, pride and remembrance are carved
in stone to pay warm tribute to accomplishments and to the life -
not the death - of a loved one. The cemetery is homeland for family
memorials that are a sustaining source of comfort to the living.
"A cemetery is a history of people - a perpetual record of
yesterday and sanctuary of peace and quiet today. A cemetery
exists because every life is worth loving and remembering - always."
