Elmwood Cemetery Needs Care for Tilting Stones
Editorial urges honoring the dead at Elmwood Cemetery as maintenance costs rise. The city spends about 40,000 dollars annually from tax funds since taking over in 1971. The Elmwood Perpetual Fund holds 113,539 dollars with last year’s interest 6,046 dollars, burial fees 6,880 dollars, and lot sales 2,030 dollars. Funds may cover upkeep in time, but older stones lean or fall, needing temporary straightening. Families should verify stones are properly installed or funded to support bases in the future.
