I am bringing this to your attention, because the Garvin Memorial Cemetery is of historical value and it should be maintained regularly but it is in a total wreck. The Swor family is asking anyone who cares to write him letters telling the Dallas city counsel that family members and non family members do care what happens to the cemetery. It would be wonderful to be able to care for this small cemetery that progress is trying to ignore or even worse develop the land, because of its location. PLEASE take the time right now to write Gordon Swor and express why this small cemetery is important to other Swor descendants as well as a historical value. Below is Gordon Swor's address and his email address.
