Volunteers are welcome to join in a community service project to clean up Lile Cemetery in Gallatin. Volunteers will begin work at 9 a.m. Saturday, March 27, and conclude by 12 noon. The cemetery lies along West Richardson Street, just west of First Baptist Gallatin Church.
This website brought to you in part by the following sponsor:
Michael Andersen, owner of Tombstone Jack, will oversee the effort and provide equipment to safely lift large monuments needing adjustment. The work involves cleaning, lifting and leveling monuments. Volunteers are encouraged to bring gloves, buckets, soft bristle brushes, rakes, shovels, your own water bottle – and a fun attitude! Organizers point to a quote by Benjamin Franklin: “Show me your cemetery and I will tell you the character of your community.” Once completed, the effort will be added to the Billion Graves Project; BillionGraves is an online resource for searchable GPS cemetery data.
