Garrettsville – The Garrettsville Cemetery Association is sponsoring a training session on cleaning old gravestones at the historic Baptist Cemetery on Maple Ave from 10 am to 4 pm Saturday, Oct. 5.
Tim Foor, who has been working on repairing the broken and tipped stones and obelisks at the cemetery for several months, will be teaching the correct and safe way to clean the years of dirt and mold off the old markers without damaging the stones or the lettering.
Brushes that are safe to use on the delicate old stone, as well as a cleaning agent, spray bottle and water will be provided.
