At the Madison cemetery workshop (well attended and well presented), the fact that "dead people don't vote" was an issue raised that tends to put cemetery preservation on the bottom of the list with politicians, and now you say they do vote..know what you mean!!!... .And the grossly neglected cemeteries certainly appear abandoned even though in the technical sense they are not..only those at the edges whose remains the farmers,developers have edged into and taken away, so I guess really they didn't abandon the place, but were forced to leave..... ..Ruth Pride Knox Co.
