Celeste Cemetery Association Annual Meeting Last Tuesday

The Celeste Cemetery Association met Tuesday at the City Hall for the annual
meeting. The same officers were named to serve the group and plans were made
for cemetery improvements.

The name of the cemetery, which had been known for many years as Mount Caramel
has been changed to Celeste Cemetery to avoid confusion with Mount Carmel
Cemetery at Wolfe City.

Plans for a new entrance gate, which is being donated by a former citizen, were
approved and work will begin soon.

Anyone interested in buying cemetery lots is asked to contact Jack Ruff.

The many improvements, which have been made in the Celeste Cemetery in the past
few years, have been made from interested citizens, from Celeste and other
communities.

The following people have been recognized for their contributions: Mrs. O. B.
