How Topic Discussed: Ellis Michaels is a volunteer at Homestead Cemetery in Munhall, Pa., and a member of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War. When did he become interested in history and genealogy? How does he work to restore damaged grave stones? Why have older cemeteries, especially in the rural settings, become abandoned and neglected? What can we learn from visiting our historic cemeteries? If someone has inherited an old church cemetery or family farm cemetery, what can they do to preserve it?
