It is a volunteer project etched in stone. The purpose is to clean headstones at the Bloomington Friends Cemetery in Muscatine.
Lynn McCleary and a group of volunteers from the Muscatine County Genealogical Society use brooms, flour, and sometimes water to remove the growth which has accumulated on headstones. There are names and dates on the stones which are not recorded anywhere else.
Phyllis Hazen takes photos of the gravestones. The group is mapping where each grave is located in the cemetery. The photos and other information will be placed on the Internet so that people all over the world can see the pictures and perhaps trace family history.
Some of the people buried in the cemetery were among the first Quakers to settle in the area. The Quakers purchased land in the 1850's to build a church and establish a cemetery. They typically came from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New Hampshire. They were settlers moving west to find a better way of life.
Lynn McCleary says people from all over the world are thrilled to locate information about ancestors buried in a certain cemetery. McCleary has helped to clean headstones and document information at sixteen cemeteries in Muscatine County.
