Cemetery Preservation.

Teresa Outen Reed of the chapter-in-forming Emmala Reed Miller Chapter,  UDC shares the following:

"My husband, Tom Reed, SCV and I repaired 2 headstones and placed 2 Confederate crosses with flags at the headstones Saturday. You would not believe the area before we started cleaning it up. You could barely see 3 headstones out of the 8 due to the brambles. We both are blessed that we were able to do this for our ancestors. Reed/Odom Family Cemetery-Blackville, SC in Barnwell County."
