Thank you for forwarding the article on Old cemeteries. There is an old family cemetery in Boone Co., of my ancestors, on what was their farm and is at this time still being used for farming, but owned by someone else. My father, who is elderly and lives in Indiana, called and asked the county, I think it was the Sheriff, if they could detail some inmates to clean it up a couple of years ago. They were happy to oblige though I doubt that unless we call that office yearly they would keep it up. We have been concerned about it's future since most of the interested family members are getting too old and haven't the finances to do anything about it and some of us have moved out of state making any other arrangements difficult. I'm glad to see the interest in Hamilton Co. to at least have documentation and possible preservation as well as assessments arranged. I doubt that anyone wants to stop progress, but allowing for a small patch of land to remain should have the same consideration and respect as battlefields, parks and monuments. These are the monuments of those who went before us. Joan Williams, Miami, FL.
