BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, AUG. 17, 1900 SPRINGVILLE Editor MAIL: - I wish to call the attention of our citizens to the disgraceful appearance and neglect of our cemetery where sleep the remains of loved dead. The weeds have grown to almost the height of small trees and bear a most disgusting sight. The weeds have not been cut this summer. Can it be possible that we have forgotten those whom we loved so well in life but who now lie sleeping in those little mounds covered with weeds to such an extent that their graves can scarcely be recognized? Let a meeting be called for the purpose of cleaning these sacred grounds, and a committee appointed to make it their business to see that this burial place is kept clean in the future. Remember, we will all be called on to sleep by their side it is only a question of time, and will soon come even to the one that lingers last.

R. BOYD has an unusual large crop of hay this season. On Monday he called several of his neighbors to help him when they discovered that he was acting very queer and was in such an excitable frame of mind that while splitting kindling for a fire he broke the blade of his knife what he had always treasured very highly. When he had built the fire the neighbors discovered a peculiar odor coming from the stove and on investigation they found he had used his old hat to build the fire with. By this time Mr. BOYD had gone to the barn and harness his team by placing the long harness on the short horse and the short harness on the long horse and was whistling like a mocking bird. One of the men appeared on the scene and inquired what the cause was of his unusual excitement. He informed the gentlemen that building fires and such like would soon be a thing of the past with him as a male heir had arrived at his house that day.

I need to make a trip to the Carlton Public Cemetery soon. I've found it on the Lawrence Co map in Guthrie Twp. Does anyone know much about its condition? I also need to go to the Bass Cemetery. I see it's a little over a mile north of Mitchell and between 37 and a parallel road. Is any specific person or association responsible for either cemetery? And are there lists of interments? What about walking conditions this time of year? Sharon Mills
Can some one tell me where this cemetery is located? If you give me general information, I have a Lawrence Co map. Sharon Mills -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version: 7.0.300 / Virus Database: 265.8.8 - Release Date: 2/14/2005
