The Friends held their annual cemetery clean up in May. Our first date was rained out, but the second attempt was successful. Several members, along with help from local scouts, raked leaves and picked up brush. The Friends contributed toward the repair of six gravestones in Oakwood Cemetery this year. The The Oakwood Cemetery Association has a new website. www.nundaoakwoodcemetery.org The Association has gratiously included a Friends page with links back to this site. We are preparing a new mailing to all members and potential members. This will include a form to renew your membership or join the group.

Oakwood Cemetery and our other burial grounds have been a part of the Nunda community since the 1820's. They are the resting places for our family, friends, and forefathers as well as a significant historical resource. As with all historical resources, they must be cared for and protected! The monument in the upper left photo has been fixed, but there is much more to do! We need your help so join us! |
