Our little cemetery continues to be in need. We keep the grass mowed and keep the trash picked up. We make sure the trees are attended to when there is a safety issue. Now some of you consider this "perpetual' care. It's maintenance, and we are doing our very best and on a regular basis. This isn't free. The cost of mowing is $225. Make that several times a year. We are a donation only cemetery. We do not receive $225 a month in donations. In going back over the records, we know that many of you who used to provide donations are no longer doing so.
We have markers leaning, broken, and falling over? Do any of these belong to your family? If so, let us know and we'll gladly meet you at the cemetery and walk your plots. We do so appreciate those of you who regularly visit your loved ones and place flowers on their graves. Please make sure we have your name, number, and email address.
Our next meeting is Saturday, July 25, 2026, at Ben F. Brown's Funeral Home at 11a. All are welcome We will be discussing donations, paying for marker repairs, accepting nominations for officer positions for the term January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2028. If any of this is of interest to you, we urge you to come to our meeting and give your input.
