Update of Happenings

Just a quick update on the happenings of the Franklin County Cemetery Society.
At our meeting Tuesday we set one work date: Saturday, January 9 at 9:00 a.m. at the Vitt-Burckhardt Cemetery near Campbellton. We will be removing one fairly large tree and burning it in the field. We also plan to reinstall the section of iron fence which has been repaired. Some weed-eating may be needed there as well.

Directions to Vitt-Burckhardt Cemetery: From Washington take Highway 100 west to KK. Turn left onto KK and go several miles to Sunny Road. Turn left onto Sunny Road and go to the first driveway on the right. Turn into the drive and go to the end (next to the house). Park there and walk out into the field on the right. You will see the cemetery as you enter the field.
Froehlich Cemetery in New Haven is finished. The New Haven Preservation Society will plant grass there in the spring and maintain the site hereafter. An added bonus of our last work day there was the removal of all of the tree stumps in the cemetery and the brush along the back fence line. The place really looks great and thanks to everyone who helped on that project.
