Help is needed with Tarter Cemetery maintenance Author found cemetery near Gradyville, KY in bad need of care on recent visit here; returned 200 miles home and back to bring back lawn mower and work on grass. Six hours of work had grounds looking great, but regular maintenance is needed. Help is requested By Arvist Rodgers We were in Columbia last week visiting family and eating that good southern food. We ate several places but Betty's OK Country Cooking was our favorite. I must say they were all delicious. We went to the Tarters Chapel cemetery as my mother, father, brother, as well as my grandparents are buried there. The cemetery hadn't been mowed for weeks. I was so distraught because we had been donating money to help with the mowing and upkeep of the cemetery. Cecil (Pete) Beard had kept it mowed. We learned from those in charge of donations that people aren't giving as well as they did in the past, and that the Cecil has had some knee problems and can no longer do the mowing. I came home 200 miles one way and got my mower, picked up my brother Alford Rodgers and came back to the cemetery with Robert Allen Smith who said he would help us. The three of us had the cemetery looking great about six hours later. We live so far away 400 miles round trip. We can't afford to mow as often as it needs to be. Please if you have relatives buried in the cemetery step up and help do the mowing and upkeep of the cemetery. Please don't forget when you lay flowers on the ground, they have to be removed before the mowing is done. They blow around everywhere. We picked up 3 bags of old flowers scattered through out the cemetery. We are asking for your help as we care very much in not letting this cemetery grow up. Thanks very much in advance for you donations and help.-Arvist Rodgers. cearvie@att.net This story was posted on 2010-09-13 20:52:33
