Old Mortuary in Old St. A's in 2013
Pic # 1
Progress is being made with the upcoming
centennial of the Old Mortuary. C~K Cemetery Restoration Volunteers who work on the grave stones in the cemeteries, truly want to see the building preserved.
*Cemetery workers were busy freshening up the
exterior this week Aug. 8/2013.. White & wine paint colors add a noticeable look to the building. A coat of gray to the bench invites all to sit and rest after a walk about the grounds.
