Blanton Hancock made the decision to quit paying the man we had to clean the cemetery. I checked into having the prisoners clean it but he did not want that. We met once and he said he would clean it up. From what I understand it is in a mess. Several years ago I tried to get the commissioners to clear the road and they refused since no one has been buried there in so many years. There are some people who have relatives there that are very interested in doing something and would like to meet with anyone who is interested. The cemetery is just sitting there. It is a beautiful place and I would love to see it cleaned up again. I do not have time to get involved anymore. Please email me directly if you are interested in reforming the association and I will put you in touch with those who have gotten in touch with me. You mentioned meetin in the summer of 1999.

Hi, Some of us tried to gather support to do something for the cemetery in the summer of 1999. The biggest problem is the road to get to the cemetery has fallen away and there is no easy access. Here is a link to a web page of pictures that Charles Durham took that summer. http://www.wf.quik.com/jgdata/porter/porter.html The county has no apparent interest in helping with this project and it is a large cemetery that has been vandalized by teens and has been overgrown and neglected for years. I would love to see some more people on this list take an interest and help do something. Jan Gray

There was an association but there has been a lack of interest to clean the cemetery up because it is so hard to get into. There are a few now who are interested who live in the area. If you will email me directly I will get in touch with you and or put you in touch with the two people that I know who are interested. Deanne Barker Sec/Tres.

Depends on what type. The Dog roses are beautiful and make the best rose hip tea you have ever seen, then I see a bunch of beautful red ones that are so very fragrant I can't believe it. One of the perks of cemetery tramping is carrying some baggies with wet paper towels and some snippers. I take cuttings when I spot good ones. And I collect seeds if Im at the right time. I have some that can be traced from early on- like my Washburn hollyhocks, decendants of the Washburns who came to Texas in 1820's ( 1827 if I recall) and probably in a ladys pocket the seeds settled here too. The first hollyhocks to be here. Others came by pocket for curing ~ like mullein and some by accident like the dandilions. All have fabulous histories and folklore; that mullein brings both a smile to me when it blooms and a tear too, it was called Confederate shoe because their shoes got so bad that it was used to line the shoe bottoms and around the edges to ease the rubbed painful skin and give some comfort. It is used for a lot of things but that is the one that makes it special. I'm a sucker for 'Confederate' anything! We have many herbs loose in the wild and I lost the cuttings I took of a wild white wisteria in NE Fannin. I will have to hunt down the kind Mennonite who wondered what I was doing in the bar ditches with a shovel! She showed it to me, it was an old one but not on a housesite as many plants I find. I told her I was heading for a cemetery. Aside from the horror on her face she stayed still long enough to find out what I was really doing. I had spotted some washed seedlings of bee balm in a deep rosy color and was getting them from the mud in a ditch. And you thought tombstones the only pull to do the cemetery readings ! :) Susan (I'm the founder of the Texoma Herb & Old Rose Society, thats why my Roots & Thyme byline on my emails) I will be teaching simpling ( home medicine in the old old days )come next spring at the local museums and have been doing a lot of research on the subject of this area's pickings and herbal history.
