I spent a few hours at Beallsville Cemetery a few weekends ago taking photos of the tombstones in the Q section. I have started to post these to the website. I am also finishing up the L section (which I think is one of the largest sections of the cemetery because it seems like it is taking me forever to get that section finished !) I have over 500 new photos to post so it will take me awhile.
Once these two sections are done I will only have 2 more to go. These are relatively small and are the newer sections of the cemetery.
I have also started going through online newspaper collections trying to find obituaries and articles for as many people buried in Beallsville as I can. Hoping to make a few more trips down there in the next few months to finish up the mapping and the photographing so I can concnetrate on getting everything on the website.
As a result, my blogging has suffered lately but I haven't forgotten about it. I have started a Facebook group ( the link is on the home page of the Beallsville Cemetery page (www.beallsvillecemetery.org). This blog is OK for posting things but didn't turn out to be the best vehicle for chatting and exchanging information with each other so I thought I'd try something new. We'll see how it goes.
Have a great summer !
