Contested Cemetery Access Sparks City Debate
A letter argues the Mt Vernon road should directly reach City Cemetery, condemning a tall fence as a barrier between rich and poor in death. It cites donor Gabriel Carpenter and calls for direct access, criticizing city spending and the unsightly boards. A separate item reports Job Stratten’s injuries after a beer garden brawl and a chaotic social club scene with arrests and drunken excess.
