Please feel free to contact any member
of the committee for more information.
We continue to be
very grateful for your donations and help with maintenance of the
cemetery. We are pleased to announce that we have hired Walt Ruggles as
the new caretaker, If you would like someone who could rework your plot,
remove old plastic, till and plant grass, we will be happy to see about
arranging for it to be done. This kind of job is beyond the regular
maintenance that is done in the cemetery, and we would suggest a
donation to cover the additional cost. In many cases, it is better to
convert from bark dust to grass especially if no one is available to
take care of it. Call any of us to discuss what could be done.

Memorial Day falls on Monday, May
31, 2010 this year
We honor all the Veterans
of the Armed Services this Memorial Day
The V.F.W. comes each year
and places flags on the graves of all the veterans buried in the
cemetery. They usually leave extra flags by the gate to be used
for any they have missed. Let us know and we will do our best to
see that they are remembered in years to come.
