Discussion occurred about the plat maps Nancy had been reviewing. Nancy stated that she has figured
out how the plat map and the Woodland/Old City Cemetery record book coincide. She would like to
graph out the graves in the lots for better record keeping. Tim offered his help in graphing out the lots if
needed. Nancy discussed working with Lincoln University to help fill out the rest of the map in the
western portion of Old City Cemetery. Nancy brought up a grave stone that had numbers on it which
could possibly be a prisoners grave. Nancy also stated that she and Michelle Brooks had identified two
individuals from the 62"d colored infantry. Discussion occurred between members and staff on how the
