Tony Hanes: As a purchasing agent or manager for the cemetery, you should be aware of a new ergonomic tool (The Trimmer Assist) for Cemetery lawn maintenance crews; that reduces physical stress and increases productivity. This is new technology and an inexpensive new device (a new invention) that would benefit both employee health as well as efficiency; for all outdoor departments (cemetery, parks, public works). Saves Time, Saves Money, Saves Injury.

Would like to know if there has been a marker of some kind put out for her grave? We would appriciate the information. Is the monutment store at the entrance of the bridge still there. and can we purchase a marker and have it put out there in honor and memory of our mother which is Lizzy's daughter and was with her at the time of her death and did not get to attend the funeral. We did locate the grave a few years back and did get to take our mother there to see it once and this was the first and last time she visited the site. Please let us know the information needed. The cemetery is beautiful and we count it an honor to have our grandmother buried there. Thank you Robin and Myrna rjtx2@hotmail.com 479-331-3185 350 Loveless lane Dover, AR 72837
