TEMPLETON CONFEDERATE CEMETERY IN WINCHESTER 

 

            Four of the trees have died from the late freeze and drought and had to be removed, that was accomplished in the past two weeks. This has made a big improvement. A work detail this past weekend got the cemetery in good shape. With some good rains to green things up, it would look nice.

 

BEECH GROVE CONFEDERATE CEMETERY

 

            A few small showers at Beech Grove have greened up the cemetery and after mowing looks pretty good.

            The new property donated by Compatriot Bill A. Butler, has been grubbed off and all the large trees have been removed and hauled off. We still have some cleanup around the old house place in removing blocks, rocks, ashes etc. We are working on that now. We have asked the state to clean up the old fence row along the property. That being done will also really improve the appearance of cemetery.

 

NEXT THREE NATIONAL REUNIONS WILL BE HELD AT:

The 2008 SCV National Reunion will be held in Concord NC and hosted by the Captain Jonas Cook Camp 888.

 

The 2009 National Reunion will be held in Hot Springs AR.
