**A full view of the family site.
**shows location of the site, which
is situated on the bottom bend of the
Old St. Anthony's (Circle) , across
from OSA's Ward O
**The stones will all be taken back out
and set in a deep bed of crushed gravel
screenings to hold them more secure &
hopefully keep them from sinking so quickly
in the years to come.

*these stones were all found lying stacked
on top of one another under the soil.
Paul Thorpe and another volunteer, dug them
out and worked to stand all of them upright.
*standing upright helps to protect from some of
the elements of mother nature, such as water freezing
and cracking them, and natural debris lying and destroying them.
*these can be found next to the large flat grave
marker of Abraham D. Shadd in Old M.L. Ward A

*this darling little grave stone of
Sarah Leeming who died, April 13, 1911,
has weathered the elements for many years,
but has lost part of it's battle with the top
cross being broken. So it sits patiently
awaiting repairs. But when?

(GPR) pic # 1
Ground Penetrating Radar machine.
**It's primary use is to locate utilities, like
pipes and cables for the construction industry.
Works good at locating graves and often buried stones
Transmitts a weak radio frequency into the ground, then
listens for reflected energy, and timing the reflection to give depth.
Any changes in the ground, different surfaces will show as something.
This information is put on a video display to be interpreted by the operator.
