FUNDING: $15,000 donation from families who have loved ones buried there, via Tucker County Historical Society.
BACKGROUND: The initial $15,000 was placed in the fund in September 1991 with the following description: “The interest from this fund is to be used for the preservation and maintenance of the cemetery and no more than $3,000 of the principal can be used for major improvements. The plan is to channel the interest through the Tucker County Historical Society which will have a committee to make arrangements for the care of the cemetery.”
