Garrettsville Area Chamber of Commerce

The Garrettsville Cemetery Association is sponsoring a training session on cleaning old gravestones at the Baptist Cemetery on Maple Ave. on Saturday, October 5 from 10 am until 4 pm.

Tim Foor, who has been working on repairing the broken and tipped stones and obelisks at the Cemetery for several months, will be teaching the correct and safe way to clean the years of dirt and mold off the old markers, without damaging the stone or the lettering.

Brushes that are safe for using on the delicate old stones, as well as a cleaning agent, spray bottles and water will be provided by the Cemetery Association
