May Ia, 1851
Dear Mrs. Haines,
1t seems too bad that growth
sometimes necessitates tearing
down things long established.
Forest Oak Cemetery in Gathers
burg has always appealed to nature
lovers. There quail nestled, whist
led during the mating season, and
mingled with the squirrels in the
fall. Many varieties of birds lived
in the evergreens that lowered
high in the sky. Other shrubs and
trees, too, grew there-trees that
probably were standing when your
grandparents were babies.
Now the Cemetery Association
feels that the trees are in the way
of the lawn mower. Several ever
greens are already gone. More
and more clearing is being done.
Forest Oak is now beginning TO
look like just a cemetery. Why
can't a cemetery be happy, pleas
ant place? One where birds and
other wildlife can find sanctuary
in the ever growing town? Let's
hope that the oaks in Forest Oak
Cemetery will remain for MANY
more years.
A resident of Gaithersburg.
