All cemeteries need saving. There are some that are so old that no family ever visits anymore & those are the ones in danger. What you are doing is a good thing. And by the way, you are never too old to fly. God bless you too.

Familys moved North in the depression and WWII and left alot of old Family Cemeteries. Their Kids was raised away from here and never came back to upkeep these Cemeteries. I have found several that has grown up bad. There are afew here that cleans them up. I have got so involved into this project my wife of 15 years had ask for a divorce. This has upset me very much. Thanks to all and may God Bless you. Tom from Booneville

Graveyards are the safest place on earth. No one can hurt you there...that is unless hoodlums are using it for a hangout.

Good job Tom! I being a life long genealogist know how important it is to preserve our cemeteries. I,ve made several trips to Virginia in the past researching and they take great care of their cemeteries. It not only is a helpful tool in learning about your past but theres nothing like going to the grave of a 6th or 7th great grandfather.
