Greenville photo blogger is there when volunteers repair vandalized cemetery

cemetery.jpgOn April 18, Journal reporter Tom Morgan wrote about the cemetery vandalism in Smithfield in which 50 stones were toppled at Greenville Cemetery on Smith Avenue. (Volunteers sought to restore Smithfield headstones).

Greenville photo blogger Linda Hawkins has posted some photographs of those volunteers repairing Greenvile Cemetery -- historical cemetery Number 49, the Smith Lot, last Saturday.

Linda had photographed the cemetery April 12, just before its stones were attacked.

Linda's a photographer, so she doesn't shoot this the way a news photographer would -- details interest her, and forms; her images have giant watermarks on them, and she doesn't identify the volunteers in the photos, but it's a nice follow-up to a story that begs for one: They were seeking volunteers, they got them, here's what they did.
