Starr Cemetery Holds Annual Memorial Service
The Starr Cemetery annual memorial on May 16 drew more than 60 attendees. Ty Harp led the pledge and national anthem, trustees including Arlie Staley and Bob Fuller were re elected, new burial guidelines were announced to avoid unmarked graves, a tribute to J W Wells was given, and a genealogical survey of area cemeteries by the Van Zandt County society was noted. Descendants of local families attended and shared newspaper clippings as memories, with the memorial held each May on the third Saturday.
