    3. I just got home from work and had a note from Ron Hutchinson and he has talked to Mrs. Finney. She says they have no plans to do anything to the cemetery which is a relief. However, he said that the fence is down and that the livestock in the pasture can get into the cemetery. If so, the stones are still in danger of being ruined. This may be what the neighbors meant when they said they were destroying the cemetery. We cannot blame Mr. Finney for not taking care of the cemetery. How many of us knew the cemetery was there and did nothing to see that it was taken care of? We cannot blame someone else for what we did not do ourselves. I want to see that this cemetery is preserved and would also like to see a marker there dedicated to Hezekiah Whitt and the brave people who founded Tazewell County. I do not want to get in an argument with Mr. Finney and cause him any trouble. I would hope that we can convince him how important this cemetery is and that the history of Tazewell should be preserved. Bev
