Excavating at St. Francis Xavier Cemetery

Scott, J. Babock, Dr. Gibb, Frankie

Scott Lawrence and Dr. James Gibb are looking for the 1661/2 Jesuit Chapel in the St. Francis Xavier Cemetery at Newtown, St. Mary's County.   Based on precious STP work, 5' x 5' units are being excavated.  The site is completely clear and is situated away from known burials.

CCASM members are welcome to participate.  Carol Cowherd has helped on two days.

Current plans are to continue excavating for at least two more days. The dates will be posted once they are set.   The times are 9-4, but it is not necessary to volunteer for the whole day.

Contact Scott or Dr. Gibb for more specific information.
