Cemetery Notes for contributions to rural cemeteries appeared in the print edition for final time May 27, 2011. Space is devoted each year at no charge to your rural cemetery from April 1 until Memorial Day as we know it is difficult to raise the funding to support our rural cemeteries. We thank you for your donations to our cemeteries. And remember, money is needed throughout the summer for mowing. Cemetery notes is an annual project of the newspaper staff. Help us in helping the rural cemetery volunteers.
