Spring Clean-Up at Prairie Cemetery
Individuals placing items on graves at the Prairie Cemetery are reminded that Spring Clean Up at Prairie Cemetery will begin shortly and will continue through Sunday, April 22nd. Please remove items you wish to save as soon as possible. Due to the strong winds over the winter, some items have been blown off monuments. Please check with the cemetery caretaker if you are missing a special item as he may have been able to save it. He is typically at the cemetery in the mornings during the week, starting in mid April. Thank you.
