Headstone Discovered
Benjamin M. Nicholson
1st Sgt 46 NC INF CSA
Compatriot Walter Smith located a Confederate marker for Benjamin M. Nicholson. 1st Sgt 46 NC INF CSA in an old cemetery on Old Hundred Road, off Enon Church Road. He is buried in an old family cemetery (the area is now zoned industrial). He does not appear to be related to the Burgesses who are buried there. Walter reports that the cemetery is covered with briars and periwinkles – it is being “slightly” tended to by someone who runs a bush hog over the area from time to time.
Iron Cross Restorations
A report in from Commander Creech, “Here are 2 different iron crosses I took from my Church Graveyard at Walnut Grove Baptist Church and Sandblasted to bare metal and put 4 coats of primer and 4 coats of black finish on and just returned them back to the graves on Friday, a week and a day of total time on this project”
Monument Clean Up
Our Cemetery & Monuments committee has been out in force this week. Compatriots Jim T. and Brandon W. were able to clean and reset over 30 stones. The photo here is of one of the more elaborate stones that they discovered while working in Hollywood Cemetery.
