Board thanks city crews after headstones revealed at Norton Center Cemetery, agrees bench placement
Summary
Board members thanked the City of Norton service department for clearing brush at Norton Center Cemetery, revealing three headstones; the board confirmed moving an intended memorial bench slightly away from a large tree toward a smaller tree.
Board members on June 23 publicly thanked the City of Norton service department for clearing brush in a section of Norton Center Cemetery and noted crews exposed three headstones that had previously been covered.
"They did a fabulous job," a board member said, thanking the service department for the work that revealed the stones and improved site visibility. Members said the graves had been hidden by brush and that the clearing made the headstones visible for the first time in many years.
The board also discussed placement of a memorial bench at Norton Center Cemetery. Service-department staff and board members met to review possible sites; they agreed to place the bench near a small tree at the originally intended area but moved slightly to avoid a large tree that could interfere with placement.
Board members said they would follow up to confirm the bench installation and inspect the cleared corner; no funding amounts or donor names for the bench were discussed on the record.
