Dave Bloom Will Speak at the Quarterly Meeting

 

Dave Bloom of Canandaigua

At the museum on Wednesday, June 15 at 7:00, our speaker will be David Bloom, aka “The Gravestone Guy”.  Mr. Bloom restores grave monuments, and he will touch upon the types of stone they are made of, proper cleaning techniques and the cemetery restoration project he is currently doing.  Dave is member of the Ontario and Wayne County Genealogical Societies, and several historical societies.

If you interested in cemeteries, and the vast history that gravestones contain, this is a program you will not want to miss.  If you have family grave markers that could benefit from being cleaned, be sure to attend.

Many gathered together on April 30, 2022 to commemorate having been born at the old Newark Hospital on West Miller St. We had a good turnout and beautiful spring weather. This was to honor the 100th Anniversary of the hospital, founded in 1921 and closed in 1957.  Since we couldn’t gather last year, we waited until the 101st Anniversary! We thank all those who participated. We will be displaying a group photo in the old Newark Hospital display at the museum.
