ceremonials that have been il
vogue in Natchitoches for many
a generation. Services for the
dead were soIemnized at the Ca
thedraI and the cemeteries were
visited all day long and the graves
decorated. Meyer before il tht
history of Natchitoches have thu
American and CathOlicgrave yards
peen given the attention that they
have been, since the Cemetery
Associations were organized, bu
the committees are terribly handl
capped as they give their time ant
attention and though these are
given lavishIy and willingly, thCl
cannot accomplish what the!
would like to, because of the care
iessness, indifference neglect o
call it what you will, of the man!
who fail to pay their small due
.25 per grave for keeping enclos
ures and walks in order. None.
is needed and needed badly for tn
work and the Committee hope
that the attention called to it b!
this, will be su Mciept for all cor
, cerned.
