Some of my friends have been up to scope out the park. There is movement afoot to hunt down any descendants of Pvt. Sumner and identify the vets and their descendants.
At this point, I think the quickest stop-gap measure would be to force the city to at least fence off and protect the cemetery. Any chance we could get some quotes on how much money it would cost to do that? I don’t think it would cost much, and maybe we could get some donations for that to take that argument away from the city council.
But then again, I don’t think cost is the real issue for the city...
More good stuff. Keep up your good work.
We got some Vet groups to sponsor buying or collecting the vet headstones. They cannot pay for the planting of the headstones on the property. That requires the city.
Maybe if ideas come from another new enthusiastic person from a large well-known vigorous group as yours, baby steps as cemetery fencing by donations will start a small crack in the city’s monolith holding back needed & overdue corrections.
The city gets hung-up on trivial miniscule matters, that causes any progress to be stopped. *Watch the city council video I sent you to see a good example for the red-tape stangle any decent progress.
