MATTHEWS CEMETERY CLEANED UP

FALLS OF ROUGH- The old Matthew cemetery was cleared of trees, bushes, 
vines and nettles on April 8 and 15 by a group of volunteers.  

Most who worked are descendants of those buried there, inhabitants of 
Falls of Rough in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The first burial in the cemetery was in 1830.  The last burial was in 
1900.

Planning committee members are Wayne Meador, Bob Meador, Geraldine 
Schneider, Murray Tate, Ron Willis, and Francis Keenan.
The group intends to continue with the restoration process by raising 
buried markers, removing debris and planting grass seed, repairing 
broken markers and cataloguing the engraved markers, replacing the fence 
around the cemetery, and erecting a sign bearing the cemetery's name.
