Verification of Burials at PHC

 

On Saturday, April 22, 2023, Brunswick High School National Honors Society Students worked tirelessly from 9:00 am – 12:30 pm to confirm the location of 2,290 burials. Without their help it would have taken us many days to accomplish this effort.  Being able to verify each burial is important in the accuracy of our records and will vastly help when the Boy Scouts assist with the placing of flags on veterans’ graves in preparation of our Memorial Day Event.

​

Many Thanks to Paul Beck, Nailah Briggs, Ben Crowell, Sara Guillen, Bayin Hoffman, Ryan Kearns, Kylie Lancaster, Marlena Landon, Keira McDonald, Anna Putnam, Evan Antonio Romái-Ramos, Regan Ryder, Elijah Shullenbarger, and Logan Williams.

The Gum Spring Entrance "Stairway To Heaven"

 

Was given a long overdue facelift!

 

Randy Shores repaired the concrete wall, stairs and columns. Then Wayne and Vicki Allgaier painted and Jackie Ebersole worked on the garden above the wall.  Take a drive past it and see just how beautiful it is!    â€‹
