The SJGR Cherry Ridge Cemetery Restoration Project
This cemetery is Cherry Ridge, long lost and forgotten, deep in the woods of a state park. SJGR was contacted by descendants interred there and we decided it needed some restoration. The grave stones were broken or buried and the plots were almost completely over grown. The project will conclude with a sign stating the name of the cemetery and the restoration work done by SJGR.
