Early Rittman Cemetery Chapel Memorial Services Planned
A historical view of the Rittman Cemetery Chapel notes its 1836 church origins, past congregations, 1906 steeple removal after lightning, and plans to restore it as a chapel. Memorial Day events are run by the American Legion with a loudspeaker, with a contingency to move to the chapel if weather turns bad. The report also mentions garden displays, Japanese cherry blossoms, and ongoing cemetery work delayed by the labor scene.
