Many people have asked how we were able to clean the cemetery headstones. We used a product called Wet and Forget. Follow the directions on this product and mother nature does the rest. You can lightly scrub the surface of the stone with a SOFT brush to speed up the process . Another product that works well is D2, this product is harder to find.

The stone in the front has the name Sarah Brownell on it. She passed away at the age of 19. The stone has a beautiful hymn written at the bottom. It is our hope to repair her stone plus others in the future. This stone was buried under 5 inches of earth and found using a probe. The stone directly behind the broken stone was a newer granite stone placed for Sarah. Her name appears at the top of that stone.
Rev. E.W. Brownell and his wife (also named Sarah) came from the Baptist Church in the Town of Knox. Rev. Brownell served as pastor of the Northville Baptist Church from 1862 to 1868.
