Thanks to Doug & Colleen Smith for stepping forward
and cleaning up the very overgrown site,
& for contributing the Photos.
Anna Mae is a 2nd Great Aunt of Doug.

"Doug & Colleen Smith" have done a
wonderful job of taking out the overgrown
bushes and cleaning up the full burial site of
Anna Mae and her husband Richard STEEN
They cleaned up the site even more
and removed all debris.
Note: the roots from most shrubs and trees
will grow and break the foundations that
the grave monuments sit on.
Anna Mae is a 2nd Great Aunt to Doug.

**Note: as you can see the shrubs that
were planted some years ago were growing
so large they would soon be hiding the
complete stone.

**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.
