We've had some strong storms roll through this spring. Here's your reminder to check on cemetery grave decorations you put out for your loved ones. Many have blown loose and rolled to a neighboring plot or have been broken. Now is also a good time to remove the Christmas decorations. Cemetery personnel will soon be removing any that are old, faded, broken, or blowing in between rows. Have a blessed Easter weekend!

The Farmer Township trustees and the Farmer Cemetery Association wish you all a Merry Christmas!

A quick reminder... When you visit your loved ones at the Farmer Cemetery, please don't discard or dump your produce while you are here. It's not the first time it's been done, but we would appreciate it if it is the last.

Attention grave decorators! Please anchor your decorations so they don't blow away. It would be very helpful if you could put a name on your decorations, especially saddles, so we can put them back on if they blow off.

Without a way to determine where they belong, we have to throw them away once they are no longer attached to a monument. We would love to just put them on the nearest monument, but if we guess wrong, people get upset in a hurry! Help us by putting a name on it, and we'll try and put them back if we can.

Need something to do tomorrow, Thursday October 23, 2025? Join us for a cemetery workday at Farmer Cemetery at 9:30 am! Doing some fall cleanup and would love some help. Dress warm and bring gloves and a shovel if you have them.

You can check out the beautiful new flagpole while you are there! A huge thank you to the Jim and Mary Heisler family for donating the new flagpole. If you know what the old one looked like and the trouble we had with it, you would agree it was ready to retire a while ago. Thank you Dave Vollmer, Jeff Kimpel, and Jim Heisler for handling the removal of the old and the installation of the new!

It was a beautiful morning to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy today. Thank you to the Farmer American Legion Post 137 for organizing the service this morning. It was well attended with over 100 people coming out to hear retired US Army Brigadier General John Kasper provide the message today, which included the reminder that "those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
