Dear List, To comment on the subject of inaccessible cemeteries, I do believe my generation ( I will soo be 80 ) as well as other generations has done very misserably in taking care of our smaller cemeteries, Our dear decesed love ones have been all but forgoten. The smaller cemeteies were started mostly on family farms. The farm family took care of the cemetery as long as they were living there. others moved in soon interest in the cemetery was not there. The next thing they plowed over or strip mined. or nature took over. There are service organizations who take on the civic duty of maintaining cemeteries. Like The IOOF, Masons, Lions Club and others but they do have to have support from the citizenry also they have to be made aware of the particular cemetery. I thought this would be an opportune moment to comment on this subject. Thank you for listening to me. James W. Mcintyre, 1310 Parkwood Dr.Florence S.C. 29505
James you sure did hit the nail on the head I love to work at the abandoned cemeteries. and I like to snoop around old houses that is abandoned some one cared and lived in these homes and some people that own them dont have an idea who lived in them or care less. Glad you came on and give that bit of information.
