Now family members are using those lots as they should, but no lots are being sold and donations are down, due to the young being unaware of all cemeteries need for upkeep. The only paid person of Williams is the mower. Annual Plea for Mowing Support Carol Moore 2614 W. St. Rd. 56, Petersburg 812-582-2745 Ronnie Brown 2710 W.
