Post #2 - 6/1/26. I have been installing these white pipes at some of the graves for flowers and/or flags to be put in. This way when Steve w**d eats the grass he doesn't have to worry about accidentally hitting any flowers or flags and damaging them. He can quickly do his job because the w**d eater won't hurt the pipes. Also like glass, we don't have to worry about them getting broken and have to pick up the peices. Please note, it is not the w**d eater breaking the glass things. I'm thinking critters.
I also notice 3 different graves did not get their flags as they should have and so now they too have their's. Once again, no cemetery's money was used. This is my way, like other things I do for the cemetery, I see as giving my share of donating and time to keep our beautiful little cemetery beautiful.

Post #1 - 6/1/26 It looks like since there are no bricks in the middle, that at one time it was a cradle grave. Time, and root growth rearranged the bricks, and buried them. So I removed the bricks, added in some dirt and put the bricks back, adding 3 more, as I believe they once were. The other bricks in the middle which look to be the same as the as the ones on this grave and on the Faithful Servant's grave are the same bricks and some of them have been resurfing just outside the cemetery, where they too got buried over time. Not sure why or how they got there, but none were near each other. I have already used some of them on the Faithful Servant's grave, as it was missing 4. I will either fill this grave in with more, if I find more or will find another way to fill it in to help the outer bricks from moving again.

Post #3 of 3- made 5/28/26.... I don't know the stories behind why flowers are being left to dry rot, blow apart and blow throughout the cemeter. But it is ok whatever the reason! So today I removed the bad ones and in place of them I put some new flowers. I ran out of flowers for a couple of them, and will get them taken care of in the next couple of days, as I have extra at the house. The flowers I put out, may not be as big or as fancy as the one that were there once were, but the folks whom reside in this graves can now enjoy the new flowers along with visitors to our beautiful cemetery. There were also some flowers put on the lady whom started this cemetery grave and her daughter's grave, as well as on her faithful servant's grave. I think they needed a little love too! No cemetery's money was used for this. I just felt the desire to do it for our family and friends whom reside here, as well as all those that visit to enjoy, as it perks up our beautiful cemetery.

Post #2 of 3 - made 5/28/26 ....Another project being worked on in our beautiful little cemetery. I have started to remove as much dirt as possible off of grave's slabs and headstones. Some have sunken pretty bad and not sure yet how much dirt, along with roots on some I will be able to remove. But I am going to try and it will be an on going project as I am sure with rain more dirt will wash back on top of them. However I am going to see what I can come up with to stop that. Again, Please excuse the mess around these graves as I work on them. And yes, the tool you saw in the other posting is what I am using, for the safety of these graves.

Post #1 of 3 - made 5/28/26... Once again, some bricks were peeking out of the dirt, and showing years had buried some history in our beautiful cemetery. I have started to unearth the bricks to put this grave back to as close to what it was and should be. This is a slow process as you see the tool I am using in order to not damage the bricks. If you are in the cemetery please excuse the mess of this on going project, as well as another project you will notice going on. At least this time, no mystery as to whom it is as we do have a marker noting the person buried there.

Kudos to the gentlemen that goes from cemetery to cemetery putting out these American Flag by the graves of those whom served in our armed forces. Some served back to the Civil War. On this Memorial Day and every day, may we remember them all for the sacrifices they made for our safety and our freedoms. May what they gave and gave up never been in vain. If you have a family member or friend buried in our beautiful little cemetery and they don't have a cross on their head stone noting they served, or don't see a flag put on their grave, as some are known to have served without the cross, please let me know. We certainly don't want anyone forgotten for their much appreciated serve to our Country. I will be making a ledger of all those whom have served to be put in with the rest of our records. To give info to me on someone that served, you can call and leave a message, put a note in the cemetery's locked mail box, or make a comment on this posting.....Thank You!πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²

Before, during and after ......the stump removal of 4 stumps. This is being done to make way for the new road we are working on, that we are putting in on the east side of the cemetery. Once done, we will have a few new plots available as well. Kudos to Brent, whom did the stump grinning, he did the last one for free. We have one tree to drop in the front east side and that stump to be grinned down and then the road will go all the way to the main road.

Hello Everyone,
Just in case some don't know, this cemetery is a privately owned cemetery. Second, if you have not been receiving our yearly letter and would like one sent to you, please let me know, so I can get you on our mailing list. Third, due to some shenanigans going on at our cemetery, we will be putting in, in the next few months, some lighting, cameras, and alarm systems. If need be, a fence across the front with double gates that will be lock at dusk and opened early in the mornings. Signs have now been posted, as to it being private property, no Trespassing, trapping, hunting and so forth. As far as just the Trespassing, that does not apply to those just visiting our beautiful little cemetery, and the precious folks that live there, as well as those doing work on the property, during daylight hours. We welcome all of you, but not those there to do bad things. Next, we have asked and ask again, to PLEASE maintain the decorations you place on the graves and do NOT throw any of these such items into the woods or back area when disposal of them. Take your garbage home with you. People are still throwing their garbage from the graves in these areas. You are more than welcome to help out, by throwing such things, as sticks, limbs or pine cones into the near by woods. This helps our cemetery look neat and nice, as well as help the 2 folks that are working hard for free to keep our cemetery beautiful. As a matter of fact, these two people, along with a couple of others, have been using their own personal money to help our cemetery in the things they have been doing and will be doing in the future. Next, As of now, any of the artificial flowers left to dry rot and peices of them to fall and/or blow all over the cemetery, will be removed by one of the caretaker, that work for free, to keep our cemetery neat and nice. Next, We don't mind your fur friends coming with you, but you must remove any number two that they do. Some folks that are visiting, as well as some using the cemetery as nothing more than a dog park are leaving such nastiness behind. I have even found some on graves. Yes, I know sometime it is lose dogs passing through, but I have seen the other two things mentioned above happen. Please either take it home with you in a bag or only throw it into the thick area of the woods and not where someone may be needing to walk to do work. We love our cemetery and hope you do too, and will do your part to help us keep it a beautiful place to visit, as well as for the folks that reside there. Next, I am still trying to find someone to grind down the 3 stumps on the east side of the cemetery, so we can get the new road in, which will open up some more area for a few new graves to go in, on that side of the cemetery. Finally, We do have future plans to expand towards the back, but that will take some time to do, as we can only do so much of the work ourselves, and must pay for the rest of the services needed to do so, on the money we get through donations, as we are non-profit. Any one willing to help, or know someone whom would be willing to remove trees safely as to not harm people or graves and remove stumps, in the back area, at no cost, would be truly appreciated and that would leave monies to do even more things needing done. As we also wish to in the future, to put a simple country fence around the entire cemetery. This type fence will be easy to maintain, easier to install, cheaper in price, blend in with the environment, and easy to replace parts, that might get damaged by hurricanes or time. Any suggestions concerning our cemetery are also welcomed.
Thank You for your time and assistance in these matters, and GOD Bless You and Your's.
