Cemetery Headstone Restoration
Darby Township Trustees recently hired Longstreth Memorials to clean and restore several headstones at Mitchell Cemetery, located on State Route 38.
The project helped preserve the history and honor of those laid to rest by carefully restoring the headstones to their original condition.
Below are before-and-after photos showcasing the restoration work.
Thank you for exploring Darby Township, located in southeastern Union County, Ohio.
Our township is rich in natural resources, has a vibrant agricultural industry, and affords generous living.
Darby Township would like to thank the Mitchell family for their generous donation of the Mitchell Cemetery monument. What a great tribute to the many Mitchell family forefathers who are buried in this cemetery. The monument provides a better designation between the Mitchell cemetery and St. Paul’s cemetery.
