-Is the White Bluff Cemetery in Redfield?
We need help getting an abandoned cemetery in Wright cleaned up.
Here's a copy of the email I tried to send to some cemetery list. but it was returned.
There is an abandoned cemetery in Brodie Bend, which is in the Wright
area of Jefferson County.
My parents who are old and packrats, own the property next to the
cemetery, used to keep it mowed. Now they don't even keep their own property mowed. The whole area is just
junky.
The cemetery has some native Americans, some slaves, and a few other
family markers. Just ten years ago it was maintained.
Now it is overgrown. I think some agency reinforced the levy with
rock a long time ago to preserve the cemetery
because it contains Native American remains. A man named Mr. Hankins
used to get some inmates out to mow
it, but he passed on, and now no one look after it. Do you know
anyone who can come mow it on
occasion? We live about fifty miles away and
are not able to do it regularly but could help.
