When we started uncovering markers at the cemetery more than two years ago, we knew it would be a long term project. When we first started, we would spend three days a week in the cemetery, regardless of the weather, uncovering stones. Now, it's more like twice a week in good weather (not freezing or pouring). I remind myself it is still progress. Take Mr. Peter Norberg for example. We know he died in 1919 and was interred in Section H, but the records were a tad sketchy. So when we uncovered the markers in Lot 19...there he was. A small victory for Peter, for us, for Metro and for that one researcher who will at last find Peter in the records; could be huge!
