June 8 and July 13, 2020 Meetings

Meet at Perley (also known as Lakeview) Cemetery at 3:00 p.m. to work on transcribing the gravestones of this cemetery.  Wear work clothes; bring a digital camera that has a USB connection if you have one, pencils, plastic scrapers, water bottles, gloves.  We will have clipboards and paper to write the transcriptions on.  We’ll stop at the Barron Dairy Queen after we’re done if you’d like to join us there.

Coming from the north, go to Almena and connect with Highway 8.  Turn right or west onto Highway 8 and drive until you reach 2nd St.; then turn right onto 2nd St.  The Cemetery is on the right hand side of the road, about a mile down the road.
