Decoration Day at Cherry Hill Cemetery was Sunday, May 3. Our cemetery is beautiful. If you haven't seen it lately, our cemetery certainly ranks on top as one of the best in our area.

We do need more donations for mowing and upkeep. If you would like to show honor and respect for your loved ones, here are some ways:
1) A $1000 donation puts name on Scroll of Honor in front of the Visitor Center.
2) The Memory Tree in the Visitor's Center highlights names of those remembered. These are added for $25 dontion.
3) ANY donation can be made at any time. (tax deductible!)

Please send checks to Freddie Easley, Treasurer, Cherry Hill Cemetery, P.O. Box 1111, Mena, AR 71953

Just a reminder that clean up day is Saturday April 25th. If you plan to come out and help bring a sprayer, ant poison and extra water as we no longer have water or electricity at the cemetery due to cost savings. There are a lot of headstone that need cleaning. If you would like us to clean your family headstone please send a $25 donation as well as the name on the stones. For more information call Vickie Robbins at 479-234-3077.

Do Cemeteries Matter?
(COPIED from Facebook: The Forgotten South) I liked it and wanted to share.

There's an old belief that a friend shared with me that each of us dies three times.

The first is when our body leaves the world.

The second is when the last person who knew us passes away.

And the third is when our name is spoken for the final time.

I think about that whenever I walk through an old cemetery. Row after row of names. Some still legible and visited often, some carefully tended, and others nearly lost to weather and time.

When I pass stones whose names are no longer legible, I think about the people behind them, lives that once mattered deeply to someone, now harder to trace.

One of the reasons I began doing cemetery preservation work was to gently clean stones so they could be documented and recorded. I've also learned how important it is to do that work carefully, so nothing is damaged so that future generations may still be able to read them.

Do you think cemetery preservation matters?

Cherry Hill Cemetery is offering monument cleaning for $25 (or more) donation using safe D2 cleaner. If you are interested, please send a donation and note telling us which stones you'd like cleaned. Freddy Easley, Treasurer, Cherry Hill Cemetery, P.O. Box 1111, Mena AR 71953
