Nearly too late
Hough met Thieriot in February in Aiken, S.C., where both spend time in the winter, escaping the midAtlantic region’s notoriously cold and damp weather.
“I met Gene at a party,” Thieriot said, “and the cemetery connection came up quickly. I'm thrilled that he’s here, and I’m really excited about the work he’s doing.”
Thieriot invited Hough to come to Re’s Rim, a farm she bought just a couple years ago, and see what he could make of the weedy ok! graveyard.
Hough first cleared away decades of brush and thick weeds from the site, uncovering the rubble of a stone wall that formerly encircled the cemetery.
Next, he gently reset what gravestones he could identify, putting aside fractured bits of others. Then, he marked out a grid pattern using white tape on the ground to delineate what he felt was likely the original layout of the burial ground.
