Who do we know that's an expert local historian as well as a crackerjack CPA? Our own Steve Jones, that's who! You REALLY DON'T WANT TO MISS his upcoming tour of Cedar Grove and Elmwood Cemeteries. Rendezvous at 9 a.m. on September 10 at the flag pole next to the Cemetery building just inside Elmwood Cemetery. Parking is allowed near that office building. Then be ready for a superb walk through Norfolk's history, especially focusing on the Yellow Fever epidemic in the 1850's. 

 

On the tour, you'll see beautiful and interesting monuments and more, much like one in Cedar Grove, commemorating  a whole family of Yellow Fever Epidemic victims: Mother and Father and six family members, all of whom died within around a two-week span – August 28, 1855 to September 11, 1855.                                                                                           

 

Please register by Friday, September 9. And wear your walking shoes! As with all our Flexible events, this counts as a meeting.
