Margaret McCleskey, regarding the conversation about the lack of upkeep at the Riverside Cemetery in Iredell. I don't know anything about this cemetery. But just a few comments on cemetery associations. I am president of a cemetery association in McLennan County. We incorporated about 4 years ago as a non-profit. We received a Certificate of Incorporation and a charter number. In order to accept monies for dues and upkeep of the cemetery, there has to be some reporting system, even if the group is exempt from taxes. There may have been several ways to do this and please, I don't know all the technical and legalities of what I'm saying. But I got a tax ID# and each year I have to file a Texas Franchise No Tax Due Information form and a Texas Franchise Tax Public Information Report that lists the names and addresses of the board members. You can do a search at the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts website. This gives certification of Franchise Tax Account status. My cemetery is listed here and also board members. I did a search for Riverside Cemetery, and variations of the name, including Bosque County .... etc, and don't find it listed. And once again, depending on when this cemetery was formed, may depend on if it's listed or they may have a different way of reporting. http://ecpa.cpa.state.tx.us/coa/Index.html I'm assuming the treasurer is accepting monies. Is there a cemetery association and do you have annual meetings. I would get a copy of their bylaws to see how much authority the board has or if certain things need a vote by the membership, but I guess to do this you have to know some names. I wish you luck. Someone in the area must know who the president and other board members are. Sandra Van Wyk Carrollton, Tx
