One of my elderly relatives was not allowed onto private property in Cannon Co. to take care of her grandparents graveyard. She went to the Sheriff's office and a deputy sheriff escorted her over there. Nobody has stopped her since whenever she wants to visit those graves. ----- Original Message ----- From: <CheasaG@cs.com> To: <TNRUTHER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, June 04, 2001 3:02 PM Subject: Re: [TNRUTHER] cemeteries In a message dated 6/4/01 11:33:01 AM Central Daylight Time, ktkelly@nightowl.net writes: > Hi Kathy,I,too,think that the taxes are excessive.
