We earnestly request the owners of the
cemetery at the U. B. church in this place
to give ii some appropriate name, where
by it may be designated 1nasmuch as it
is nominally owned by that church, but
really owned, principally by citizens of
this town and vicinity, it is In reality q
public institution and to designate it as
the United Brethren cemetery, is not to
state a precise fact and tends 10 lead per
sons not acquainted with the facts, to as
sumo that it is only place Of sepullure
for members Of that church. There should
be ON organization of the lot owners and
name given il, and even more than a
name, there should he AL organized body
of lot owners to take charge Of fund that
should bc spent annually in Its repair
This could be done and not in any way in
terfere with the ownership by the church
of lots remaining unsold, but which lots
as sold to pass under the control of such
organization. This hasty suggestion does
not cover all the points NOT possibly ex
press as clearly or at as great length q
might be desirable, yet it calls attention to
the subject and as we are aware that there
are others besides ourselves, who have ex.
pressed an interest in this matter, we shall
be gratiticd TO receive and publish the
views of any others Wethercfore make
the request directly, that the matter be
discussed, pro and con, in these columns.
