Members of Bluffton Boy Scout Troop 140 joined with a large contingent of other workers in the ongoing effort to clean up the Old Ossian Cemetery Saturday.

one of the few tombstones still standing in the cemetery belongs to Civil War veteran John Calvin Miller, who was five years old when Ossian was founded.
