Old Business

Unmarked Graves
The last 6 markers will be ordered, and installed. Ed Berntsen will take care of his parent’s markers.

Additions
Burn Pile
The burn pile was deemed too large to burn. Laurie will contact Williams Tree and Stump Service to chip what they can from the burn pile. At the same time 2 dead/dying trees will be removed and others limbed and trimmed. Laurie will get a bid and run it past the Board for approval.

The Bingham Dogwood Tree had some life, so the dead material was trimmed off and it was given more light by removing neighboring ranches

All faucets have been repaired and posts and hose holders.

Thank you to the 40 plus volunteers who came for the clean up day. There were lots of children and families. Thanks to the many who brought John Deere wagons to help move the debris to the burn pile. Nate, his tractor, and wagon were sorely missed.

Thanks to Krista Pearson, who offered to help with Cemetery needs, Paul McCormick who would transfer maps to a CAD program and to Kim Crowder wo offered to help with genealogy of Cromwell 'residents'

Respectfully submitted,

Laurie Dahl Isacson
Cromwell Cemetery Secretary
