Volunteers Guard Forgotten Cemeteries Across Douglas County
Volunteers work to care for neglected burial sites such as Lake View Crowder Lewis and Black Jack cemeteries. Genealogist Jean Snedeger led a county tombstone census finding many abandoned gravesites, while Iona Spencer organized a 1997 effort that reopened Lake View Crowder Lewis after 36 volunteers cleared it and a shed was built for equipment. The county notes some cemeteries lack maintenance and are not covered by districts, relying on private volunteers and donations to mow, mark graves, and decorate for Memorial Day.
