the Milton M. E. Cemetery. Miss
Susie d. Carey was chosen presl-
dent. ]. Clarence Lank, secretary,
and Joseph M. Lank, treasurer. The
idea is to at once solicit FUNDS TO
do the necessary work now needed
and later to incorporate the society
under the title of the Milton M. b.
Cemetery Improvement Company.
1t is proposed to level the graves in
order that the ground can be now
ed, doing away with the tedious cut
I ting of grass from off the graves
with shears and hand scythe. The
cemetery in the past has been kept
in fair order through the efforts OF
| individuals, or by contributions
from interested persons, just before
Decoration Day each year. The
new organization expects to SOLICIT
funds from those whose foreparents
are inferred here and establish a
permanent fund for this purpose.
