On the website, we have added some Richland Township cemetery tombstone inscriptions. Click on Cemeteries on the left side.  If a cemetery name is highlighted in blue, the cemetery readings are there.  

Be aware that these tombstones were last read in August 2001, so only those buried before that date will be included.

$15 single, $18 family and an additional $5 if a newsletter is to be mailed.   Emailed newsletters are part of the membership. Door prizes at almost every meeting.
