Re: Old Garvin Cemetery for sale!

George,

I guess they can sell it. It is listed by a real estate company, it's not a "BY OWNER" deal.

Yes, they will have to find and move all of the graves and most are not marked at all. Many stones have been broken and trashed, also many graves were marked with wooden markers that have been gone long before you and I were born.

It is just a sad ending for this old Cemetery. I have dug up some old stones that I found buried and reset them, pulled weeds and picked up trash by the sack full. The grass gets six feet tall in the summer. Some Scout Troops etc. work on it sometimes and at this time it looks good.

I would think that the SCV and the UDC would join the fight to save the Cemetery. We will see.

Thanks,
Gary
