Grave Markers for Sale We purchased special markers for the gravesites in the
Clinton Cemetery. It was suggested at the last board
meeting that others would enjoy having their own. It was
decided we would make the markers with inserts available
for sale at a cost of $15.00, shipping included. We will
prepare the insert as shown below.
Dimensions are 5.5 x 7. They fit into the ground in front of
a headstone flush with the ground so that they do not
interfere with the grounds keeping. Please check with you
cemetery to make sure they are acceptable in your area and
allow us a few weeks to prepare with your information.

We currently have 348 "friends" on Facebook and growing everyday. Please remember that not all “friends” are members and as administrator I do not keep track of those that are or are not. We have many people that see the Kelsey name and just asked to be added. I will not take any information from Facebook to put into the newsletter unless requested. I am just trying to prevent any inaccuracies. Please feel free to help any other "friends" search and find their own connection. Please feel free to Instant Message me if you have questions. I do not go on the site everyday and miss things somethings. If you have an important question it would probably be best to send an email directly to one of our board members. Their emails are listed with their names on page 2.
Thanks Lynn
