Report of Cemetery Commissioners
The Commissioners having secured an appropriation of $200, have made good use of a portion of it, in improving the the appearance of the Cemetery, by cutting out some dead trees and trimming others, also righting up stones and doing some grading.
We have also applied some of the income on different funds to cleaning the stones, and monuments, which in our opinion improves the appearance of the whole, as well as the stone itself.
We find there is much more to do, and we hope the town will see fit to give us a small appropriation, so we can do at least what is necessary to be done.
The following is a list of interments for the year ending December 31, 1915.
