West Sparta Cemetery Restoration Project

West Sparta Cemetery Restoration Project West Sparta Cemetery Restoration Project is about the restoration of 4 town cemeteries. The project will depend on donations and fundraising efforts.

The Town of West Sparta will be restoring its four town cemeteries: Byersville, Kysorville, Union Corners, and Woodville. The four-year project will focus on restoring tipped and damaged headstones, cleaning headstones, locating buried and missing headstones, indexing and mapping of who is buried in the cemeteries, clearing overgrown trees and brush, freshening up existing signage, and fencing. All affiliated with the project are volunteers.

Snyder Brothers have begun restoration of eleven headstones in the Kysorville Cemetery. Several were broken and will need to be reattached before being set on new foundations. Some of the broken sections that were buried have revealed dates and poems that provide new information. Some broken pieces have been moved so we are trying to determine which grave site they belong to...if you are good at jigsaw puzzles we can use your help!
