Local Cemetery Conservation: Re-setting Multi-Piece Monuments

Publicado 2022-01-24
These series of videos were produced for the 2021 Local History & Historical Preservation Conference. The Wisconsin Historical Society partnered with monument conservator Jonathan Appell to cover the basics of cemetery preservation. Through a partnership with the Osceola Historical Society and the Mount Hope Cemetery Association, Jonathan demonstrates and performs treatments for the most common gravestone and monument preservation dilemmas, including cleaning, resetting tilted stones, and rejoining fractured tablet stones. The goal of these videos will be to give local cemetery staff or volunteers the knowledge to perform basic preservation procedures.
The workshop and these videos were produced by Valley Access Channels in Stillwater, Minnesota. Music credit: Storyblocks.com

Jonathan Appell is the best! His workshops are amazing, full of information and he makes it so people can do this long after he's left to another workshop. Thank you for posting!

It's nice to see a monument straightened and repaired. So many of them are a mess.

I'm a professional genealogist and archivest and I have visited over 30k graves in past four years, probably over a million in my career. I found this a very interesting and informative video.

I was think when I saw those elder folk had nothing good to do since they were sitting there watching him fix the stone, but, then, realized I'm sitting in my kitchen watching him fix it also.

Thankyou so much this video has been really helpful ..i.bought a headstone online a nice one slant 24 by 16 by10 and a 36 inch base fory.husband ..it way.cheaper buying online..we have to set it. I have watched countless videos ..and ordering supplies..i just ordered the tape and plately putty for the structure Think i have to buy join-tight setting compound for the outside Will need a. level .crowbar ..with a cloth..1/2 inch wood blocks ..a dolly for moving..and 3 more people to help..and a measuring tape .his stone and base sit on a skid still in packaging in the driveway..someone I know with a fork lift said they would do me the favor and load it on the truck to be taken to the cemetary .also.will need something to to get it off the truck..ramp or something ..the cemetary owner said she would lend us her dolly..hope we do it right..his foundation is already

You might take into consideration using some of the Wood pieces You have in the Bucket to shim the stone to the level You want than pack the stone & sand material under the base to complete coverage under the base instead of just kind of pushing the fill with the blade of the shovel only around the edges and slightly under the base. pack the filling with a blunt ended tool for long term success.

Would you consider spraying D2 under the stone when it is up on blocks before joining?
-
I just looked it up prately putty..thanks so much ..going to order it off amazon .looks like it is easy to use..can I use it on.the outside of stone as well Need to bond headstone to base and base to foundation
-
What products are you using .for structural to go under and the other putty to go around ..

How thick is the base of the stone
-
What is the purpose of lead in the corners

I hate getting a piece of furniture in that someone "fixed" before. Surpirses are no longer all that surprising, but still every bit as aggravating.
