Cewmetery's Lookin' Good!
It’s been a busy two weeks in the Burdett Presbyterian Church Cemetery. Two weeks ago, Jud, Don and Jack Standish managed to set the large obelisk that laid on the ground near the front of the cemetery. The same day they also completed repairs or built new bases for several other stones. Last Thursday, the boys were able to reset the heavy granite stone that was toppled in 2008 when a large limb came down off the big oak tree at the north end of the cemetery. Again, the work bee included repairs or bases for an additional 9 or 10 stones. And speaking of large limbs, that very old oak tree shed another huge limb a few weeks ago. Thanks to whoever has been cutting up and hauling away what will surely amount to almost a full cord of firewood. Once that old oak seasons, it will keep somebody warm on cold winter days! Today, Ruth and Marty pitched in, planting perennials in an area near the south end of the cemetery. Not only will the plants give us color through the summer and fall, it will mean less mowing and trimming. If you get a chance, take a few minutes and wander through the cemetery, taking note of the great work done over the past two summers. If you take the time to look at the stones, you’ll discover a real art gallery, in terms of the etchings and designs on many of the stones.
