I actually had plans on doing the same at a cemetery in PA next time I visit, on the grounds of the Battle of Brandywine. And another old smaller one, tucked away behind a high school football field.
@HISTORYBUFFPA Hello. Thanks. The names on all of the Veterans' stones are preserved, but some other ones are difficult to read due to heavy erosion. This is a far-off Cemetery that most people do not bother with. Unfortunately, some stones are sinking and have been sinking since the late 1800s! A book titled History Of Camden County from I believe 1886 makes reference to the fact that some of the stones had fallen into the ground and all these years later, they are still half-way in the ground!
Nice job in keeping these names preserved.
