-Is the White Bluff Cemetery in Redfield?
We need help getting an abandoned cemetery in Wright cleaned up.
Here's a copy of
the email I tried to send to some cemetery list. but it was returned.
There is an abandoned cemetery in Brodie Bend, which is in the Wright
area of Jefferson County.
My parents who are old and packrats, own the property next to the
cemetery, used to keep it mowed. Now they
don't even keep their own property mowed. The whole area is just
junky.
The cemetery has some native Americans, some slaves, and a
few other family markers. Just ten years ago it was maintained.
Now it is overgrown. I think some agency
reinforced the levy with rock a long time ago to preserve the cemetery
because it contains Native American
remains. A man named Mr. Hankins used to get some inmates out to mow
it, but he passed on, and now no one
look after it. Do you know anyone who can come mow it on
occasion? We live about fifty miles away and
are not able to do it regularly but could help.
