2026 Union Springs Cemetery Association Letter
Member* letters, containing ALL aspects of cemetery association business have been mailed.

Please take a moment to review the letter posted here (click on each photo) and give consideration to how you can assist in caring for the cemetery grounds.

Flags have been placed along the roadway in remembrance of Memorial Day, to honor those who lost their life defending our freedom. These flags are placed each year by the county commissioner crew.

Additional flags for Veteran's graves, provided by the cemetery association, are located under the pavilion in the back. These flags are available to place on your Veteran's grave, at no cost. (One flag per Veteran site, please.)

Thank you - Union Springs Cemetery Association, Board of Directors

A new look!

Thanks to the efforts of a long faithful director, the entrance to these hallowed grounds has received a much needed face lift.

The previous entry was made possible by another dedicated director, the late O'Lena Jones Perkins - who, along with her husband, inventoried the entire cemetery in the early 2000's. The data was compiled into a book and sold - with all proceeds designated for a decorative entrance. (A commemorative plaque is located on the right post.) Those efforts served the cemetery well for approximately 25 years. Unfortunately, the elements, and also a piece of equipment some years back, had taken a toll on the entryway.

A couple of months ago, a director (who wishes no recognition) took to task the chore of having a replacement - or upgrade - constructed. It is through his vision and design, along with his generosity and relationships, that the Union Springs Cemetery entrance has been greatly enhanced.

The skillful hands of Chris Felder crafted the piece in his Moscow shop; with Charles Kennedy handling the painting. Mr. Felder installed the piece this past Wednesday.

The Union Springs Cemetery Association is extremely appreciative of the talents AND charity provided by each of these three gentlemen!

● Photo says says most everything.
While it is obvious "what and where" have happened, the "how" and "when" are not clear.
It is difficult to imagine clipping a monument and not being aware of that action.

● Also, a No MOW MARCH, including weeding, was in place for Sections 1,2, and 4, to allow time for some "potential" wildflowers to evolve. Occasionally, odd things surprisingly pop-up....even a bluebonnet or two. After a review of the grounds yesterday, this will stay içn place until April 15."

Please be patient, AND don't fault the caretakers. ;)

Spring - doing it's thing! If you look hard enough, you can smell the jasmine and bridal wreath.

Harmless? Why does the cemetery association continually harp on the topic of "items placed on the ground"?
SEE COMMENTS FOR EXPLANATION.

There's more to the reasoning than one may think.
