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. Did you come to a meeting at Blanton's Chapel Church close to Leonard? > Hi, > Some of us tried to gather support to do something for the > cemetery in the summer of 1999.
