Hello Everyone:
Merry Christmas!!!
For some reason, I have lost my mail folder for "Cemeteries". Do any of you
have any help to retrieve it? I know I wouldn't intentionally do that as it
was full of information from all of you.
One thing I would want is the copy of the permission slips that were on a
while back. I think there were two. I would appreciate this.
Thanks,
Joan Wray
Tipton County

Jack,
Hello! It sounds like a good idea to me. I hope it will work out for you.
Sorry it took me so long to reply to you. Maybe you, Tom and the other
township trustee (sorry, I don't remember his name) go before the county
commissioners to get a cemetery commission going? Take pictures with you
of
the cemeteries or take them on a little field trip. Remember they
work for
you. It won't hurt to ask.
