Still working through Union Cemetery Newport TN and one of those projects is confirming where exactly every Veteran is located.

We have about 10 left to finish our excel document. And then we will be giving it to the Wreaths across America representative. Hopefully it'll make their process easier.

But while doing this I was shown some very awesome documents from the records!

You ever have a small pet peeve about taking photos in a cemetery. We take a lot of photos for find a grave and this is one thing that kinda gets us.

Yes the office is very helpful but what if it's a weekend and you can't find a marker. And the only picture is just the stone. Plus we think a larger view also captures more of the essence what do you think?

All these are done out of our own pocket or by donation. We do not have a set amount.

Nearing the weekend and we will be visiting Goodnough Cemetery to clean the stones and remove a fallen tree among other things that might need to be done. We also should be paying a visit to Turner Fish cemetery and hartsell Cemetery this weekend. Busy busy is good.

Towards the end of the month until mid June however we will be having to take a forced break but will return to doing this by mid June. With hopefully more time. We will definitely be scheduling anyone who wants to have some help with a cemetery on their property or their family cemetery. Send us a message email call or text!!

05/11/2026

This coming weekend we are going to Turner Fish and Goodnough cemeteries.
One to determine what needs to be done and the other to start restoring the cemetery.
Then the 23rd we will be returning to Yett Cemetery to continue our work there.

We do have some time coming up in the later part of June to take on some more cleanups.

For donations we have cashapp

Despite our best efforts due to certain people's actions we will not be returning. It is sad that we were stopped because of this and we will not be continuing in our efforts to restore this family cemetery and it hurts that we can't as we really wanted to improve the situation. However there is nothing more we can do and we will not put ourselves or any volunteers we have at risk. We will continue with our other cemetery projects and will have hopefully happier updates in the future about our other projects.
thanks to everyone for the support.

Busy busy busy!

Today after leaving here I am headed to Yett Cemetery to get a quote on help to reset a heavy marker. Then we are going on a supply run for Jaybird Cemetery tomorrow! The garage next door has very nicely already started hauling the trash out of the cemetery and the police Dept is increasing patrols in the area to keep away people who like to camp overnight. I mean I wouldn't mind camping in a cemetery for sure but I'd leave it as I found it!!

Rocky Top Grafix is helping us making a sign about no after dark visits to the cemetery to try to dissuade those who might wish to stay the night. We do feel for those who have nowhere to go but it they can't keep the area they choose to sleep in nice and clean then they need to go elsewhere.

If you wish to make donations
We have Cash App at this time.
We are having to setup Venmo. which should be done this weekend

Today's supplies will be trash bags, a new set of loppers ours are in much need of replacement and the sign will be $25 she said.
