Other_Information:
The REAL Tombstone cemetery NOT THE MADE UP BOOTHILL is fading away. I
am a one person volunteer every day at sun rise till 11:00 am trying to
clean one grave and one row at a time. I am up to 250 graves. I have
graves that are so caved in you can see the top of the coffins. I have
weeds so deep it might take me 3 hours to clean one grave. I have
cactus growing through graves, breaking stones and making markers
unreadable. This is the CITY job, they will not help me, they do not
care because this cemetery does not a donation box for the tourist to
put money in. These are the real people who stopped in this
hell hole of a desert to make a life and a town. These are the real
heros of Tombstone, not the frigen Earps. I am so sick of the
city NOT DOING THERE JOB. I will be out there everyday that I
can, and I made a promise to everyone out there, I would make their
resting place right. But I feel that I need help from you, to
make the city care about the real people not the fake made up graves in
Boothill
