DOBKINS CEMETERY CLEANUP PHOTOS

  I visited the Dobkins Cemetery in October 1990 with my cousin, Jim Dobkins. At the time, the cemetery was fenced, but overgrown with tall grass and weeds. Many of the headstones were not visible and a number were broken. In  2004, a group of Dobkins and Garrison family members started cleaning the cemetery and restoring headstones. They have done a marvelous job, which is ongoing! This page shows a few pictures of the cleaning, as well as one that I took in 1990 while standing by the headstone of my G-Grandfather, Joshua Dobkins. The subsequent are courtesy of cousin Beth (Dobkins) Garrison of Sheridan, WY, who has been very active in the cleanup/restoration efforts.
