Retired professor works to repair gravestones
LEWISTON -- About 800 gravestones are in various stages of disrepair at Normal Hill Cemetery in downtown Lewiston because of vandalism, age and a century of wind, rain and sun.
Former political science professor Richard Moore is coordinating efforts with his former students to create a nonprofit and raise money to restore the headstones, preserving a piece of the city's history.
Moore says his efforts were prompted after finding the weathered grave of Henry Jones, who commanded a local unit of the National Guard and served during World War I.
