The Morris Zion Episcopal Church is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the building of their current church. One event that was part of the celebration was a workshop on gravestone cleaning and resetting held in the Harmony Cemetery, which was adjacent to the original site of their church.
One of the stones cleaned was that of Margaret (Brown) Cathcart who died on May 30, 1805. Below is a photo of the cleaning in progress. I had to leave before it was completed. A better photo of the cleaned stone will be posted here and on findagrave.com
