16 APR 22 - FOG workday!
FOG picked another chilly day to roll into Hillsboro Cemetery, but DOUBLE the number of volunteers than in November! We worked totally in Section A, cleaning stones and then straightening others. We encountered several needing repair and will address those on our next workday, when we will have our new hoist in operation. Some parts of stones had to be located beneath the ground and dug up, so those will also need a good cleaning, besides repair work. We found some puzzle pieces and were able to put them back together, now ready to be repaired with epoxy.
We hope to again double our attendance at our May workdays!

13 NOV 21- First FOG workday! (pictures below!)
FOG rolled into Hillsboro Cemetery Nov 13
A chilly morning met with FOG on 13 November as the first workday at Hillsboro Cemetery took place. Time was spent first cleaning up fallen branches and limbs from trees in Section A. Then the group worked on sunken markers in Section B. The slotted bases for these were about 9” below grade and they were raised up, mud scraped off and reset with crushed limestone beneath. They will be given a thorough cleaning in the spring.
