2014 - 2015 Headstone Repair
Thomas-Fletcher Historic Cemetery

Repairing the broken headstone of Susan Matilda Reese Thomas (1809-1885),
wife of Henderson County Sheriff Robert Thomas (1806-1865)
Picture
For years the broken headstone lay on the ground while the base and other pieces lay buried - disturbed by the roots of an old, stubborn stump; with permission from the Adopt-A-Cemetery program, pieces are found, the stump and roots are removed; headstone pieces are transported home in 2014 for a winter repair project; the headstone and base are repaired, waiting for spring; March 31, 2015, headstone is placed; Thank You, Warren Scott and John Martino

Left, the headstone repaired and reinstalled, March 2015.
