Ada Holzhauer leads the Hurricane Cemetery Association formed after a call to clear underbrush and straighten stones. The 13 member group seeks state licensing for funds and long term upkeep, aiming to ensure graves are cared for 50 to 100 years from now. A work crew from Dixon Springs and volunteers have begun restoring vandalized headstones ahead of Memorial Day.
