I've noticed that the old African Episcopal Methodist Church cemetery on Route 842 is being maintained beautifully, with the grass mown, the vines and brush cut back and American flags marking the Civil War veterans' graves.
The other day I saw a man putting his push mower back into his truck just across the road from the graveyard, and I stopped and thanked him for taking such good care of it and honoring the dead.
"I just want it to look … appropriate," he explained modestly.
The neglected gravesite was restored in August 2015 as part of an Troop 153 Boy Scout project.
