Genealogy friends,
Time Warner is sponsoring a 'Save Our History' grant award. The Jackson
County OGS chapter was fortunate to be chosen as one of 5 finalists and is the
only genealogical society or cemetery project to be nominated.
Although all 5 projects are worthy recipients, PLEASE take the time to vote for
the James Cemetery Restoration Project. The only hope we have is for the
genealogy community to unite with us in voting as the 'competition' is based in
much more highly populated areas.
If awarded the grant, we will use 100% of the money towards purchase of the
fence needed to enclose the cemetery to protect it from further destruction.
Cemetery repair work is ongoing. Please forward this to other genealogy list,
relatives and friends and ask THEM to vote as well! Thanks to all who have voted
so far. Voting ends FRIDAY and ANYONE can vote!
