Many bodies are brought from
a distance to be interred in this
historic cemetery along with
members of their family who lie
resting there.
A Hospitality Committee was
appointed by the new President,
to be at the grave side at such a
time and to invite the bereaved

its members to rest and be re
freshed with a hot or cold drink,

journeying back to their homes.
The new President will appoint
other committees to see that the
cemetery is kept in good condi

Several hundred families are
sent an annual report of the work
being done. Many of these fami

annual amount to cover the cost
of such care. Board Members
present left with renewed en

to give more of themselves to
this worthy cause.
