Elkton Cemetery funds dispute rocks town leaders
In Elkton a clash over who controls cemetery money heats up as council and cemetery commission argue over deed revocation and fund management. Former mayor Lee Dearing says council could spend funds broadly, while Vice Mayor Randell Snow defends town reimbursement rights and notes substantial past forgiveness of debt. Both credit Sam Flick and R. E. Monger for stabilizing finances and relying on perpetual care interest for operations.
