Great credit for these accomplishments was due to the devoted efforts of Mrs. Nina Willison, Mrs. Myrtle Bixler, and others of the neighborhood. Harve Northey, who lived nearby and was a staunch supporter of the organization, donated his lovely home-grown strawberries. There was no limit to the servings of berries. The original Center Cemetery was located west of the Center church. It is uncertain just how far the original cemetery extended to the west.
Senior citizens believe that the northwest portion of the present cemetery was a first addition.
In 1966 a new fence was built along the north side of the cemetery and in 1970, along the south side. The corner posts were donated by Harlan Tallman. In the summer and fall of 1970, considerable repair work was done on the building. Two coats of paint were applied by hand. The cost of this material and labor was met by the Cemetery Association and generous donations from interested people, far and near.
