THE PUTNAM CEMETERY ASSOCIATION spent several thousand dollars upgrading the 100+ year- old signs in The Grove Street Cemetery. Time, money and effort was spent procuring specialty cast signs and installing them (with cement) all throughout the cemetery grounds. Our property is used by alot of people who visit the sacred location to pay respects to their loved ones, as well as by area residents who use the flat roads and serenity of the place for recreational strolls, walks and runs. The Association freely allows it's property to be used in this way. Collectively, our Board of Directors, Superintendent, Sexton and business partners are a dedicated group who strive to be good caretakers and neighbors ~ keeping the grounds maintained, well-groomed, and safe for all who use them. With that being said, we hope that whoever took out the sign/pole pictured with their vehicle late on Sunday or some time on Monday, will do the right thing and come forward to take responsibility for the damage caused, rather than enter a page of shame should our neighbors across the street disclose you to us from images on their ring cameras. It does takes a strong and conscientious person to do the right thing in difficult situations. We hope that person is reading this and has it in them to reach out and take responsibility for what they did!
