Camp Chase Cemetery Reclamation Project

The Veterans Administration completed the first part of a reclamation project at Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery. This included, aligning, and leveling all the tombstones

and replacement of all sod.

Now there are straight rows leading to the arch.

The tree behind the arch was too old and dead

to keep.

This is the process that was done to reclaim the land

Jul 27, 2009 A long straight row.

The long trip from the back of the cemetery to the arch

Secured to the arch and protective padding removed

Repainting the lettering on the rock

Back home in all his glory

From Jan 2009. See the difference of the alignment of the rows and the tree that had to leave

Each tombstone was measured from where it was removed so that it could be put back exactly in place.

Sep 2, 2009

Checking the final drop onto the arch

Both the Arch and the Stone were cleaned

The rock has been cleaned the lettering redone

All together, The Statue, Arch and Rock cleaned and repaired
