FENCES - Initially a 6’ black aluminum fence was installed on Spring Street thanks to the generosity of Logan Marks, replacing a very ugly rusted chain link fence. Logan furthered his generosity at a later date to install 6’ black aluminum fencing along Coral Street and School Street, donating almost 90% of the cost, also replacing very ugly chain link fencing. Once that fencing was completed, the Cemetery added 40’ - 6’ black chain link fencing with privacy slats behind 88 School Street. Four-foot black chain link fencing was added along our westerly property line northerly from Spring Street then continuing westerly behind the neighbors on Spring Street to our westerly property line behind the neighbors on School Street. We have one more section to go to complete are intended fencing along our westerly property line.co
GRAVESTON CLEANING AND REPAIR - We have hired Josh Glazer to clean and restore gravestones as monies allow. He has been doing a superb job.
CORAL STREET ARCH - The 7 ton arch at the Coral Street entrance has been knocked down twice and according to the Vermont granite people may have many internal cracks which may shatter if it falls again.
