The Cemetery now has pictures of all the monuments, memorials and stones and is incorporating them into the database.  This is, and has been, a very intense operation. While you can now fairly well  “find” everyone that is buried at Ivy Hill on the Society’s site, we are actively supporting the cemetery’s work adding these photos along with the birth and death dates to the search information that the Society’s website will display.

Ivy Hill has taken seriously its role as a “Keeper of Community Heritage.” Now the Society is going to help and see that this work continues. Historical preservation is part of our mission.  Preserving things and not sharing them is somewhat meaningless.   Our intention is to help to develop and deploy this information, some of this heritage if you will,  using the internet.  We, as well as our children and our children’s children and so forth, will be able to visit Ivy Hill no matter where someone may be located.  Friends and family , some as yet unknown,  will be able to share in the heritage of the Ivy Hill community from this effort.

All of this activity has associated costs in both dollars and man power.  We are asking for support of this specific project with the hope that those that visit Ivy Hill on line and utilize the service will recognize the cost associated with creating and maintaining these sites and make donations accordingly.
