    2. Hallowed Ground - Alanreed rancher rescues graveyard from prairie http://amarillonet.com/stories/032600/tex_hallowed.shtml Hi all, I heard on one of my family mailing lists today about a great article in this morning's Amarillo Globe-News. It tells the story of an Alanreed man who is restoring a prairie graveyard that is over 100 years old. He has researched some of the people who are buried there and is attempting to re-erect some of the markers. He has also organized an effort to get a fence placed around it. Cemetery preservation has become a major concern as more and more of our old family burying grounds are being bulldozed over with little or no thought given to historical significance. Take a minute or two and read this interesting article on Delbert Trew's efforts to save the Eldridge Cemetery! Thanks, LaRae
