Location
Description
Located approx 3-4 miles west of Laketown a short distance off main
road. Surrounded by a pole fence which has been moved in from original
location. Overgrown by weeds and shrubs. Headstones are broken and
garbage lying about.
Other Problems
Land owner refuses general upkeep, such as trimming back
overgrowth, new protective fence (chain link), etc.
Previous Contacts
Other family members. I personally have not talked to land owner
but my family members have, also contacted County commissioners and
cemetery committee. Land owner wants nothing done and cemetery is
disappearing from neglect.
Current Status
Because of resistance by land owner, nothing is being done. I would
like to see cemetery kept up. I believe there are tax dollars
collected toward care of this cemetery, but land owner is very
resistant. All the cemeteries in this area have a chain link fence
around them and this cemetery has a falling down pole fence. I don't
expect the land owner to do anything except allow us to access
cemetery and do up keep
