Cemetery Updates! Great things are happening!

-We found some really helpful people in the community who have made metal crosses for the unmarked graves, and also someone who is going to paint them so they do not rust.

-We have a new angel for the cemetery and are developing a plan to erect it in the same spot, but this time on a concrete pedestal.

-A group of teenagers, led by Emmanuel Baptist, are coming to the cemetery tomorrow to do some much-needed cleanup.

It may not look like much in the pictures, but Sheriff Hartley and several trustees put in some hard work removing Chinese privet from the bank.

Hopefully we can get it sprayed and be done with it.

As y'all know the cemetery has come a long way since the initial cleanup several years ago.

We appreciate all the volunteers who are helping make it a more beautiful place.

MSU is back in the cemetery marking the graves they found on the GPR!

Some sad news from the cemetery. Someone decided that they’d take a drinking stroll through the cemetery, knocking over several headstones and destroying the cemetery angel.

They had a good time considering how many Busch beer cans there were around the headstones.
