Today we welcomed Community Forester Amanda Knox of the Missouri Department of Conservation to the cemetery. Society President Jerry Prouhet and Secretary Marie Hollenbeck
showed Amanda the work volunteers began this spring clearing honeysuckle and undesirable trees from the woodland area west of Block 5.
Amanda provided advice on what other trees should be removed to open the canopy of the wooded area and allow the sun to shine on the small white oak and hickory saplings. Sunlight is vitally important for the young trees, particularly the oaks, to thrive, Amanda said. She commended the Society for its work removing the invasive honeysuckle to allow native trees and woodland flowers to reclaim the area.
Society members are making plans to apply for cost-share funding offered by the Department that will pay half the costs of removing a large white oak tree on the eastern edge of Block 8.
We sincerely appreciate Amanda sharing her knowledge with us and look forward to working with her and other Conservation Department staff. We will keep you informed as we continue
consulting with the knowledgeable foresters of our Missouri Conservation Department.

Please join us in thanking Chris Tomschin for the lovely wreaths that now greet visitors at the entrance to cemetery. Chris designed and created the eye-catching wreaths in observance of Memorial Day and in celebration of our nation’s 250th birthday.

We’ll be leaving the wreaths up throughout the summer as we mark this milestone in the history of the United States.

We also want to remind everyone the cemetery’s Avenue of Flags will be displayed this weekend. Volunteers will put the flags up Saturday morning. They will remain on display through early evening Monday.

Monday afternoon, the annual Memorial Day service will be held at 2 p.m. in the cemetery by the flagpole and veteran’s memorial. In case of rain, the event will be relocated to the Fellowship Hall basement of Immanuel United Church of Christ.

Also, for Memorial Day Society members will be placing a small American flag on the grave of each of the more than 300 veterans buried in the Wright City Cemetery. The flags will be placed on the graves Friday evening and will be removed Monday evening.

We encourage everyone to take time this weekend to drive through, or better yet, walk through the cemetery grounds and remember all the men and women who have served our country.

Handmade wooden bowls and vases, each with a story to tell. These pieces were crafted from a 200-year-old white oak tree that once stood in the Wright City cemetery, giving new life to a wood rich with history and character. Every grain, curve, and finish reflects the beauty of nature and the care of handcraftsmanship. Ron Hahs of Daisy, MO crafts these beautiful pieces for the Cemetery Memorial Society.
If you love meaningful, one-of-a-kind pieces, these are truly something special. We will have these available for sale at our upcoming Pork Tenderloin sale this Friday, May 15 at the Gazebo across from FMB Bank in Wright City.
Stop by and check it out.
