ELK POINT CEMETERY WEST. Ken Pinder and Leon Babcock mowing.
On June 16, 1977, several interested volunteers gathered at the cemetery with their lawnmowers, rakes, grass clippers, etc. for their annual clean-up day. Dick McGinnis brought his tractor and mounted mower to mow the east portion, saving many steps for those with the lawn-mowers. When all was tidy, we sat down to a pot-luck lunch and a short meeting followed.
