FYI for those of you who have ancestors in Sand Creek Cemetery, Morgan County, IN. I
attended an organizational meeting last night at the Morgan County Library. Sand Creek
does not have a cemetery association. The mowing has been paid for by family members and
a few private donations. Twelve people showed up last night to discuss our options and
the possibility of forming a cemetery association. The bottom line is there is no money
left in the fund for this mowing season. Cost is $120 - $130 per mow. The cemetery was
mowed 16 times last year. That's almost $2,000 just for the mowing. We also need to
make a decision on removing at least 6 trees that are in danger of falling on the new
houses in the subdivision. The estimate was nearly $5,000 to remove the 6 trees, several
shrubs, and stump removal. We discussed obtaining liability insurance at a cost of $200
per year. If you have input on forming the association or would like to be involved,
please e-mail me. If!
you would like to make a donation to the mowing fund, e-mail me privately and I will give
you the address. Thanks.
