Pleasant Hill Grange Cleans Up Local Historic Cemetery
July 1, 2008 by Valley Bugler
Pleasant Hill Grange #101 had several members, one Pleasant Hill Jr. Granger along with two community members participate in a cleanup of Tucker Cemetery.
This small pioneer cemetery is located about a mile from Pleasant Hill Grange and we were informed it is not in a cemetery district.
When we first discovered this tiny, forgotten, overgrown cemetery we came to realize that is it the final resting place of the first Master of Pleasant Hill Grange #101.
After several hours of loving labor everyone went back to Pleasant Hill Grange where Grangers Gloria Starcher and Jean Bowen had prepared a great lunch.
If you are ever in the neighborhood, and want to see a neat old cemetery, please stop by. Take some paper and pencils or colored chalk to do some rubbings.
It is a great place to teach about the history of our area, learn about the different lifespans and ages of individuals that once lived in our own area.
