Armed with their own shovels, sidewalk edgers, brushes, wheelbarrows and more, the Little Falls Rotary Club headed to St. Adalbert’s Cemetery, Aug. 19.
Starting early in the morning, the group worked for six hours, most on their hands and knees, digging soil and grass away from headstones, some more than 115 years old. They found headstones for children as young as 2, and for World War I veterans.
