Greetings Friend, Sorry to know of the storm damage, however it was fortunate that there was no damage to the tombstones. Being new on the Cemetary Committee I do not know if there are funds available to assist in the cleanup. If the costs are excessive we will certainly check to see. As of now I plan to attend the homecoming in May Keep in touch. peace John Allen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Judith F.

I talked this morning to James Folk, who is our Landscape Maintenance man for the Bush River Cemetery. He said that during the storms of 2 weeks ago, 2 large trees had fallen at the left of the cemetery as you enter. He did not think any tombstones had been damaged. He is investigating the best and most cost effective way to remove the fallen tree parts. He does not think that there will be a way to remove the large stumps. I'll report back as I know more.
