bound selected articles / Doane, Dubois Co. Library at Jasper...The condition of the Jasper graveyard is a disgrace to civilization. (reference to deed etc.) then: The town board should see to its proper fencing and probably by giving some one the use of the unoccupied acre of ground, the balance might be kept in decent condition.(more general)then: The first settlers of this county lie buried there and their graves should not be run over and desecrated by hogs and cattle.We noticed Tuesday that some worse than devils in human shape, had broken a number of old tombstones...{this is not the oldest cemetery in Dubois Co.}....and then the next week this was written,,,,: The members of St. Joseph church have accomplished a much needed and highly creditable work by thoroughly cleaning up their graveyard. It was in a terrible condition, but now looks much better. Now let those who use the graveyard across the creek see to it that that one receives the improvement which it needs so sadly. Respect for the dead is a sacred duty of the living..... copied by Ruth Pride Wheatland ,In.
