Seven people worked on the John & Mary Lamb Cemetery.
We finished it as far as cutting the brush out, but I am going back when
it is warmer and repair broken stones and reset them.
It is a pretty little cemetery but still needs some repair.

This cemetery was in very bad condition and it still needs plenty of work.
11 volunteers meet and held another workday at the Grooms Chapel Cemetery with still another workday planned for this cemetery next Saturday Jan. 13th.
Richard P'Pool reports that Rick Morgan and Wendell Taylor have worked on the cemetery 3 or 4 days through the week.
As Richard says, "They are to be commended."
Anyone wanting to volunteer even for one Saturday morning, just contact any of the Cemetery Board members for information.

We worked on the Grooms Cemetery again this past Saturday, Jan. 28th.
We had 7 people to help with the labor. We have a couple more brushpiles to burn and it will be
about finished considering all the unwanted trees and vegetation that it had on it.
The Grooms Cemetery was one of the worst ones we have tried to clean. It really looks good now.

Photo & Story
Saturday, Feb. 24, 2007
The county cemetery board met with several volunteers to clean up the new found/new
named Robert P. Hollowell Cemetery. It's location is within 1000 feet of the Marquess Cemetery.
The landowner lives in the Lexington, Ky. area and Greg George is leasing the land for pasture.
Greg shared information on the location of the newly found Hollowell cemetery.
He also volunteered his time and labor to help us clean up the site. He had helped us on the Grooms Chapel Cemetery.
After cleaning the Hollowell Cemetery, we went over and cleaned up some debris that was left previously at the Marquess Cemetery.
An Amish family now owns the land where the Marquess Cemetery is located. They promised Richard P'Pool if we removed the debris
they would keep the cemetery mowed.
Wouldn't it be nice if other people would keep cemeteries on their property cleaned up?
Dr. Duane Miksch is faithful about helping clean the cemeteries.
After finishing work on Saturday morning, he and his wife invited all the workers over for lunch.
Mrs. Pat Miksch had some tasty beef stew, homemade rolls, and hershey bar chocolate pie.
Everyone enjoyed it and it was appreciated !!
