Cemetery Restorations - Photo Album

Ralph Hendersin has worked extremely hard on restoring Monroe County Cemeteries. Here is his photo journal to follow his progress.


Photo 1 - Ralph Cleaning out trees, brush, stumps and overhanging tree limbs

Photo 2 - Ralph's first view of Larson-Pioneer (Cannon Valley) cemetery

Photo 3 - The large tabletstone in Larson cemetery (broken into four pieces)

Photo 4 - This is a photo of the clamping arrangement Ralph uses for stones where there is still a segment of the upright stone remaining solidly attached to the base. He has applied the epoxy and carefully fitted a large broken off piece of the stone to the segment that remained in the base. Notice that he has wrapped the splints with wax paper at the joint to prevent the epoxy from sticking the splints to the stone. If this sticking is not prevented small pieces of the stone will break out when the splints are removed, a definite no-no when our motto is "DO NO HARM". Ralph uses wax paper rather than plastic sheeting so that if any paper happens to stick it can be scrubbed it away, whereas plastic would be there seemingly forever.
