The purpose is to clean the cemetery to the degree allowed by the number of people who arrive between 11:00 and 11:30. An additional benefit is for members to see the cemetery, and visit with other history lovers. A portion of the cemetery, that is enclosed by the fence, is sometimes mowed. A 1977 survey of tombstones by Blanche Impey and Jeanne Tabbis was published in the DGS Quarterly, September 1986, Vol. 32, No. 3. The burials range from 1903 to 1976. At the last visit, tombstones were visible.
