The Wagner Cemetery Association would like to thank all of those who have given of their time and those who have given generous donations to the cemetery this spring. Most recently we would like to thank the individuals who have donated their time to helping get the cemetery cleaned up in preparation for Memorial Day. On Wednesday, May 8th a small crew of volunteer ladies swept through the cemetery to complete the spring cleanup of debris, faded flowers, and broken mementos. Also, at a different time, some volunteers did get a tree stump and branches removed and filled some low spots with dirt. With our welcome spring rains, the mowing crew has already been at work to keep the grounds looking nice. Spring application of weed control chemical has already been applied as well. The Wagner Cemetery Association relies on the generosity of our community to be able to keep being able to provide the perpetual care and maintenance at the cemetery.

We thank each and every one who has a little time to help keep the cemetery a beautiful resting place for our loved ones.
