I want to give a big shot out to Steve Etheridge, for being a rare gem and caring enough about our cemetery and me, and going this afternoon and finishing cleaning up all those piles of debris I had made, for the cemetery and me. I didn't even have to ask or beg, he just did it. He did a great job. I want to say THANK YOU STEVE from the bottom of my heart. You and what you did is appreciated beyond mere words. I know everyone whom has someone residing there, will appreciate you and your time in helping getting our beautiful cemetery back to just that....Beautiful!!!! Thank You!

As of Wednesday after the hurricane, this is how far I have gotten on the clean up. Down to pick up the all these piles of limbs, sticks, pine cones, pine needles, and leaves and taken them to either the east or west side on the cemetery and throwing it out into the woods. And a couple of small areas cleaned up. Then touch ups and then done. I love the breeze that blows as I work, but it brings down more stuff. So the cemetery is not perfect, but dang, it sure looks better than what it did. Slowly, but surely it will be done, as it is just me doing all this while also addressing 2 other properties, among of things each day. So, if you visit the cemetery, please excuse the mess and the on going of the clean up. Thanks for your understanding. Just a fun note, as I was working, yet another of many critters I have seen while at the cemetery that pass through this peaceful area, while others stay a while, was someone's pet pig, whom stopped long enough to investigate me as I talked to it. I will be taken a much needed back Thursday and Friday and then start back on Saturday with much cooler temps that I looking forward to, to work in.

The hurricane really did a number on our beautiful little cemetery. It was trashed like I have never seen it. My heart was broken looking at our beautiful, peaceful little cemetery looking so sad. I took these few pictures after having already cleaned up tons of sticks, branches, pine cones, pine needles, and leaves.There is a tree down in the back, to the east we will be taking care of later. It is not interfering with the graves or anyone visiting. Before the hurricane I did go up and pulled all the flowers I had put out all over the cemetery on different graves and pulled up all the American flags and took all that home with me. There was no time for me to get all the flowers, arrangements and other decorations off all the graves. I still had 2 other properties to deal with on getting ready as well as other hurricane preparations inside my home. I have already at this point of these pics, put back all the American flags, as well as all the flowers I had taken home. And picked up, put back, straighten up and cleaned up all the flowers, arrangements and others decorations that were blown everywhere. I then cleaned off all the graves, before starting the big clean up of the whole cemetery. I'm not joking when I tell you that some of the artificial flowers blew out of the cemetery and onto the road and then down the road to the west. I found flowers along the road and a couple even in the front area of my yard. I will post in another posting, after a few days later, where I am on the clean up of the cemetery. Note, I have 2 other properties I am also working on each day to clean up, as well as putting back in place everywhere that was done for hurricane preparations. So if you go to the cemetery and its not completely cleaned yet, just excuse the mess. Slowly but surely it will be cleaned. I am but one person! Thanks for understanding!

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!🇺🇲
