A GOOD MOVE
A Project on Foot to Have the Old Church Yard Improved
At the suggestion of the borough council the board of Trustees of the United Presbyterian and Presbyterian churches met jointly and passed a resolution requesting people who have deceased relations or friends buried in the U. P. and Presbyterian churchyards to remove them to some of the cemeteries or other burial grounds. The dilapidated, neglected condition of the graves is anything but creditable to the town or to the friends of those whose remains lie in these churchyards. Person who will remove the remains of friends are requested to notify some one of the members of trustees of one of the churches within the next 30 days. Should the friends of any person whose remains lie in these churchyards neglect or refuse to remove them, an application will be made to have them removed by due course of law.
Below is a list of names of person buried in these churchyards so far as they can be ascertained.
