During the regular scheduled January 27, 2022, meeting of the Scioto County Commissioners communication was received from Wandering Appalachia to the Scioto County Commissioners requesting that permission be granted to begin restoration efforts at the Scioto County Infirmary Cemetery in West Portsmouth, Scioto County, Ohio, with the intended goal being that supplementary markers be placed alongside the original markers that bear only a number and no name.
