Yes ma'am! Bethel University. Coincidentally, their color purple. LOL
Yep, I was there when it was Bethel College, founded in 1842 and was the Cumberland Presbyterian college. Colors purple and gold, mascot is a Wildcat!!

My favorite professor was my History and Sociology professors.  They were fantastic. The religion professor was a fun guy. You should send me their names privately, I may know them.

Yep. It's sad. I've recently gotten into tombstone preservation. Repairing broken stones, resetting and cleaning them.  Smaller ones, nothing too big.
Mighty kind of ya. I do the same if I see anything broken, but some are beyond restoration out of being too madly damaged.

Jackson TN. Whenever you're ready, I'd be glad to give you the tour.
Sounds good. I’ll get there at some point, but I’ll let you know before I make the trip cause I never come unannounced and not knowing you wouldn’t go well either. lol

Thomas Prince Cemetery

I don't know anything about this particular cemetery, but if you like, I'd be happy to do some research on it. I'm always willing to help out anyone doing family research! If you're interested, I'll PM you my email address and you can send me what you have.

Well, I don’t have anything that’ll do the same, but I have a friend that will sometimes come and fix them with either concrete, or I’ll help by putting on a very strong and weather resistant bond that usually does better than concrete. But as I said, some are too far gone for repairs.

Interesting! I’ll read more on this later in the day. But as of now I’m getting ready to go and get some basic needs, or I’ll starve. lol

Is it hard to become a member?

Not too bad. I apprenticed and was grandfathered in.  What part of the world do you live in (general)? There may be someone not far from you.

I know of a place that’s not far from my location that has many graves from the seventeen hundreds, and they look it.
