2014
Volunteers cleared the brush and weeds from the historic family cemetery allowing descendants to pay homage to their ancestors. (Photo courtesy of Larry Craig shows Betty Bower Craig visiting the Craig ancestors at the Craig-Onstott-Gill Cemetery on Gill Ridge Road).
2018
Brush and weed growth to the adult knee shroud the beautiful stones from view.
A large brush pile recently dumped on the cemetery's outer edge covers five graves based on the 2014 photograph taken by Larry Craig compared to the 2018 photograph (right).
Volunteers are needed to remedy this situation.
Sinking stones on the outer edge will soon vanish. The society asks the families of those impacted to please call us and grant permission to bring these stones to the surface that we may catalogue and correct the cemetery record, if necessary.
