| The Faithful Few
The work at Greenwood cemetery
| is being pushed as fast as possible
under the unfavorable labor condf-
tions. Mrs. Emily Green and Mrs
Walter Hood have not only been su-
perintending work out there for the
past four weeks. but have helped the
Boy Scouts rake and burn trash that
was left by the negro men who quit
| their jobs for more remunerative
work. Every lot in the cemetery is
being thoroughly cleaned. Some were
| in a deplorable condition and would
have cost the owners not less than a
dollar each to have had them put in
good shape. The association will ap-
preciate contributions of soc. or 81,
according to size of lot from any who
are not members. Send money to Mrs.
Walter Hood. treasurer. Some have
complained that their lots were neg
lected when the association had them
in charge, which no doubt was the
case at times when it was impossible
to secure competent caretaker. The
dues are Sd, SIS and 81 per year (ac-
cording to size of LOTT and surely that
much work is put on them during the
year, even tho they may be neglected
at times. If one had taken the trou-
BILE to look over the cemetery before
this general cleaning was done, they
could easily have picked out the lots
that the association has had charge
lof. Of course. some few take beautt-
| full care of their own lots and the as
ISOLATION does not wish to secure the
care of these. What the association is
working for is beautiful cemetery
and as it is impossible for many to
give their personal attention to their
lots the association urges such ones
to join the association and help make
Greenwood cemetery one that Ocala
can feel proud of. The association
has only about forty-five lots in its
charge, leaving at least 235 which are
in an unkept condition all of the
time except at general cleaning sea-
sons. 1t has been the rule of the as
ISOLATION to have the whole cemetery
gone over twice year, but it was i'm
possible to get men to do the work
last spring and it is being done under
many difficulties now. There are very
few women who take enough interest
in this work to even attend the meet
ings, but during these busy times the
ladies will pardon such seeming neg
ligence, if too much is not expected
of the faithful few"
