Story:
History etched in stone
YOUNTSVILLE — An avid genealogist knew her
great-great-great-grandfather and some relatives were buried in a cemetery
near Yountsville. Marti Swanson found the location a jungle-like setting
and
sought out local help to restore the final resting ground of her
ancestors.
The Genealogy Club of Montgomery County Inc. took the ball and ran with
it.
Large rows of vegetation growing in the neglected cemetery were removed
and
tombstones, many broken, are being cleaned and restored.
