PROJECTS!

  1. Legion Hill Cemetery

    GSHC is involved with touching up stones at the Legion Hill Cemetery.Some of the stones are very hard to read because they are engraved and the letters were not painted or the stones have lost their color. The society is asking for donations to cover the cost of paint, brushes and other items to do this project.

    Contact Lola at lljsnyder@verizon.net for more information.
