I will be at the Homerville Cemetery on Thursday, March 25 at 10:00 a.m. and Friday, March 26 at 10:00 a.m. and would welcome anyone that can help straighten a tombstone or reset a tombstone or fix a fence. Also, the cemetery is always open, so a person can visit there anytime the dirt road is dry. I have not heard from any organization that would like to take this on as a project. There must be someone who cares about this old pioneer cemetery and the forgotten ones. Of course, donations are always appreciated for the folks that can do the work but can’t afford the materials.
