Reading of Treasurer’s Report Everyone received a copy. No motions were made.
Old Business:
Sylvia Sonneborn reported on the fact that Rebecca Ross Barefoot’s tombstone is in error because it claims that she is a direct descendant of Colonel George Ross. Research reveals that her father James Ross is not the son of George Ross. Vicki Erdley, President, checked with a few places as to the cost of correcting the tombstone, and the starting price is @ $700.00 & up.
Motion to put on hold for now made by Nancy O’Hara. Second made by Tim Barefoot.
