Sharon Mills Well I guess you missed a few then, if you type in cemetery, then maybe you only get a few hits, expand your search. I have read over 10 of them. There is an apology from one of the "men of the cloth" for jumping the gun so to speak. I just want public awareness, and to let people know that there are also those of us who appreciate what Nevitt has done for the cemeteries. The problem here is ignorance in the fact that many people are expressing their disbelief that she spent money to do this and in fact it is under Indian code to do exactly what she did. I want people that are not from around here, but have ancestors buried here in the cemeteries to be aware of what is going on. letter to the editor "Disappointed in Attack on Union Township Trustee" January 11 2011 Kim On Sat, Jan 22, 2011 at 12:54 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Kim, > > > > I went to the Journal ReviewaArchives and read the only two articles I > could find.
