Boy Scout Troop 87 from Wintersville, Ohio  is chartered by Two Ridges Presbyterian Church. They meet every Monday night from September through June at 7:00 P.M. in the church basement.  As of August 2009, Shane Gamble is currently a Life Scout.  The troop Scoutmaster is Dan Gamble

Shane Gamble met with Flora L. VerStraten in the spring of 2009 to begin an assessment of the condition of the cemetery. It was decided at that point that Shane would restore half of the Pioneer Section of the cemetery and our chapter would adopt the other half. We then met with Gene Poole, at the cemetery who is a Church Board Member. He offered to give a donation and help in anyway needed.

Cleanup/Restoration dates thus far as follows:

June 2, 2009
June13, 2009
June 27, 2009
They have repaired/reset/epoxy approximately 45 tombstones as of the end of July. 
Please check back for updates on their progress.
