Genealogy Grant Awarded

Congrats to our newest grant recipient!

George Eder, Jr. has been working to clean up an old cemetery in what was the coal mining community in Sun, WV. This cemetery was established in 1920, and has many sunken and unmarked graves, as well as broken headstones and headstones which are now unreadable due to weather and vandalism. The grant award will help fund the purchase of weed killer, gravel and engraved plaques for the headstones that are now unreadable.
