St. Margarets Pioneer Cemetery Restoration

work will soon begin on a book which will document the history of the cemetery.  The book will be prepared over the next six months and should be available in early Summer 2010.  As the book nears completion, we will provide updates and details on how you can order the book.  All proceeds will be used for the continued restoration and maintenance of the cemetery.

NOTE - WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU - We are collecting stories for the book.  If you have a story about the area, the cemetery, or someone buried in the cemetery, or photo, please email it to us.  We can't promise that it will end up in the book, but we are going to try and incorporate some stories into the book.  We are also taking submissions for the website, if you have anything that you'd like to share as well.
