The cemetery committee from the Neighborly Club, composed of Mrs. Emmett Henry, Mrs. Frank Riede and Mrs. Debs Patterson, will meet with the town board to further discuss the plans for the upkeep of the cemetery. The Neighborly Club has, until this year, for the past several years, had the upkeep of the cemetery as their major project and they have done much toward beautifying our "Silent City." It is the purpose of the town board to make the cemetery self-supporting in the near future. Up to the present time, income for this purpose has depended upon donations from interested individuals.
