September is slipping past and so I am sliding in a newsletter just before the end of the month!

While we didn't have a cleanup this month because the Saturdays were busy, we are thankful for the volunteers and others who worked in St. Luke's Cemetery in September and over the summer.

I hope you enjoy reading the articles below!

A SPECIAL THANK YOU to the 1st Cedar Hill Scouts, led by Genessa Poilievre, who did a great job cleaning up in the cemetery in the evening of September 25th. Genessa planned and organized this work bee as the last piece of her Chief Scout Award.

About 15 scouts, along with their leaders, helped with the cleanup from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. They needed headlamps to finish the cleanup! Thanks to Genessa, and the 1st Cedar Hill Scouts, the cemetery looks great after the cleanup! 

At the link below, read about others who have been cleaning up in the cemetery and see more pictures from the Scouts' cleanup.

This issue includes an article and pictures from the Cemetery Tour about Farmers, Florists, and Gardeners in April and the story, as told by Corey Scholefield at the tour, about his great-grandfather, George Frederick Scholefield, and his family.

Did you know that many of the stories from St. Luke's Cemetery can be found at the website and in the issues of St. Luke's Prescription?

A list of the stories in St. Luke's Prescriptions is included at the bottom of the page linked below. Once you find an article you are interested in, you can find the appropriate issue at the Prescription Archives page.

This e-mail list was compiled from contact information St. Luke’s Cemetery Committee has regarding descendants, family members, and friends of people buried in St. Luke’s Cemetery.
