Tarvin family members attending the reunion in Terre Haute spent Friday afternoon photographing local cemeteries in support of the Wabash Valley Genealogical Society's effort to document these cemeteries. The photographs will be uploaded to Find A Grave where they will be available to the general public.
This service project will assist people to find the grave of their ancestor by using the Internet and will help preserve the information on the headstones that are rapidly deteriorating due to age and weather.
Cemeteries documented include the Bee Ridge Cemetery and the Old Hill Cemetery in Clay County, near Brazil, Indiana. Both cemeteries contain the graves of Tarvin ancestors who came to the area in the 1850's and their neighbors.
