Here’s what the cemetery looked like in June.

Things were much improved by the end of our workday.

Below are two pictures that show how the cemetery has changed the past 50 years. Here is a picture of George Franklin and Carrie Lou Wingard’s graves now:

Here’s what the graves looked like around 1955. You can see the old Wingard home in the background. It has long since been demolished, and the field is now wooded. The land was sold to a paper company.

Thanks Cousin Murray for this picture!
