Community rallies to restore neglected historic cemetery
During a recent government meeting, community members expressed deep concerns regarding the maintenance of a local cemetery, highlighting issues of neglect and the emotional toll it has taken on families. One resident passionately shared her experience of caring for the graves of her loved ones, including her husband and in-laws, and lamented the overgrown weeds that made it difficult to locate her family's headstones.

The speaker emphasized the need for better care of the cemetery, stating, \"There is no reason on God's green earth that our families should be laid to rest in a place where somebody does not care enough to take care of the graves.\" She called for collective action to address the financial and logistical challenges of maintaining the site, suggesting that community members should come together to find solutions.

Another attendee, Denise, echoed these sentiments, noting her sister's efforts to mow the cemetery despite her age. She raised concerns about the legality of the maintenance efforts and urged the community to ensure that all actions taken are within legal boundaries.

The discussions underscored a growing frustration among residents regarding the lack of attention to the cemetery, which holds historical significance for many families in the area. The meeting concluded with a call for greater involvement from local authorities and organizations, including the National Historical Society, to help preserve the site and honor the memories of those buried there.
