Thank You, Mr. “T”

Thank you, Jim Teichman (“Mr. T”), Munson Road superintendent, for recently requesting the trustees to allow funds to replace broken and unreadable cemetery head stones for veterans interred in Maple Hill Cemetery and Fowler’s Mill Cemetery. He hopes to have at least 10 markers restored each year.

Call the trustees and let them know that it would be a show of benevolence to have them all restored in both cemeteries before the next Memorial Day tribute by the township.
