The Christian County Genealogical Society is hosting their 18th Cemetery Walk this Sunday, May 19th, beginning at 1: p.m. at Harper's Ferry Cemetery in Palmer Il. Preparation and restoration of the cemetery have been taking place to not only uncover the history of the late 1800s but also to provide proper grounds to learn the history of the cemetery with informed, time-period actors leading the walk.

Vauna Crowder, Vice President of the CC Genealogical Society explains the important job Ralph Falconbury completed at Harper's Ferry cemetery to set the scene for the walk.

Matt McKinney, Mayor of Palmer, was involved in the year-long process of preparing the cemetery and noted how enjoyable it was to see the dedicated work come to fruition.

Along with William Harper, local residents of the time that have been found in Harper's Ferry Cemetery will be played by area residents.

Vauna Crowder and Matt McKinney appeared as guests on the WTIM Morning Show.
