- Mark Kreps' Work Notes -
5/23/10 Saturday, June 5th will be our next Workday at Heath Cemetery, starting at 9:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. It's Dave Parkinson's birthday on June 5th and he will be in school that day as a last day. We will obviously be off for Memorial Day weekend. This is a great time to decorate and properly memorialize your loved ones in this time of remembrance. Karen Brown will be putting out flags at Parker Moore, Ron Shope at Blowers (formerly Carmichael) and I'll get Collins. Edmund Alldredge and George Heath had flags placed next to their markers on Sat. May 22nd. It would be my goal to get everything done on June 5, we'll see. We might have yet another workday, if mother nature doesn't cooperate. Karen Brown has agreed to picture all the markers at Heath Cemetery, like she did for Truitt. Thanks Karen! There are several markers at Heath that need to have a patch or void mix to seal up the cracks. This would include the limestone tree marker of Peter Lutz, Sam Stewart marker, infant son of William Brown, Jane Goss marker, and a few others. There is a foundation that needs to leveled and straightened and it's marker placed upon it. Ron Shope showed up last Saturday and we really appreciate the hard work he put forth. Altogether we reclaimed approximately 19 markers out of the ground. We cleaned and reconstructed the best we could, one marker at a time. Heath Cemetery is located at the corner of Proctor Road 325 W and 350 S. Go to the end of Hoyt where it ends into old 67 which heads to the Muncie by-pass. Turn right and right you go past Tomlinson Cemetery, pass Horsebend Rd, slow down as pass the bridge, turn right (west) onto 350 S. Go to the end of 350 S which is about 1/4 mile. This T's into the entrance of the Heath Cemetery. Hope to see you there. Bring your favorite work gloves. It would be nice if someone wanted to take pictures of the cemetery as we are about done with it. One stone at a time, Mark Kreps
