| 1. Continual updating of each cemetery’s
catalog. |
| |
| 2. Maintain a listing which identifies a
contact person for each cemetery -- particularly for ingress and
egress across private property and the name of the Treasurer for
financial matters. |
| |
| 3. Obtain signs for all Union County
cemeteries. |
| |
| 4. Grave plot map all U. C. cemeteries that
have not been mapped and develop a Union County map showing
cemetery locations. |
| |
| 5. Work with the State Forestry Service to
assure access roads and maintenance in the Chuck Swan Wildlife
Management Area. The location map needs to be updated with index
and Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates noted on it to
make these cemeteries easier to find. |
| |
| 6. Clarify responsibility for maintenance
on State land and Federal (TVA) land. |
| |
| 7. Recommend state legislation to assure
our cemeteries are protected. |
| |
| 8. Explore funding for maintenance and
restoration -- grant possibilities, church and civic group
adoptions of the very small cemeteries in each community. Research
grant possibilities for restoring old stones that need to be
re-cut or cleaned as well as cemeteries that need to be cleaned
and restored. |
| |
| 9. Recommend a policy concerning Clear
Cutting of big trees in cemeteries, identify and secure a
certified sprayer for weed control. |
| |
| 10. Identify any Indian Mounds or Native
American burial grounds within the county. |
| |
| Note: Some of the goals are
partially met, but this is a massive ongoing undertaking. |
