il cost money to do this work and there
is no good reason why this association
should be obliged to wait for its pay.
'EThe trustees <of the Kenosha Gene
terry Association gave the matter of
consideration, at meeting Of the trus
tees it was decided that the North
Western Loan and Trust Company Of
Kenosha, Wisconsin, receive the funds
and make such loans subject to the
approval of the Board of Trustees,
there is now in this fund the sum of
So, 10000 of which $4,000 is in good
mortgage security drawing six per cent
per annum which certainly must be
considered a good showing for so short
time. Many lot owners have placed
their lots under perpetual care and
many have expressed their willingness
to do so in the near future.
"We are all vitality interested in
making our cemetery as beautiful as
possible and we must see that funds are
provided for maintaining the standard
for all times to come.
"The future care Of the cemetery,
no doubt, depends largely upon those
who now have the same in charge and
as there are numerous cases where fami-
lies died out or moved away, any one
of such neglected lots in the cemetery
is a serious damage to surrounding lots.
In order to have the general appear
ance of the cemetery look well and
properly cared for in future years, /
wish again to call attention of all lot
owners and persons interested in the
cemetery, that while the opportunity
presents itself, to make provision for
the perpetual care lund, do not delay
the same until tomorrow or next week
for it may then be too late Many
have gone in the last two years since
this association was started and many
will lie there before another year has
passed. No, we cannot say who is next.
If the opportunity had presented it.
self years ago for a perpetual fund nc
doubt many who have gone be1ore US
would have provided for the proper
care of their lots, so let al persons in
terested in the cemetery, whether lot
owners or otherwise, work in harmony
so this fund will reach at least the ten
, thousand dollar mark at the next annu-
al meeting Of this association. 'The
increase Of this fund is being added
to the principal and the intention is to
use no portion Of the income until it
becomes absolutely necessary and when
that time arrives the fund will have,
with prudent management, increased to
such O. sum that the income of the same
will keep the cemetery in splendid con
dition for all times to come.
II wish to thank all those who so
literally subscribed to the improve
ment fund and trust that as soon as
final action is taken to do the work,
that is contemplated that the manage
ment will meet with success in raising
the amount necessary to complete the
same.
II wish to thank Mr.. z. G. Simmons
for the kindness he has shown in ex-
tending to the trustees his home for d
meeting place.
"Also to the trustees for the inter
est and encouragement they have mani
tested in this matter and trust the
same may continue for all times to
come.
In conclusion wish to say, Let
all work in harmony for this good
cause and let the motto of this associa
tion always be, Gone, but Never For
gotten. :"
