Association To Unveil Restored Cemetery Gate This Sunday
By CASPAR EWIGFLY CREEK
On Sunday, July 13, the Fly Creek Valley Cemetery Association will hold a celebration commemorating the 150th anniversary of the cemetery and the reinstallation of the ornate wrought-iron archway that had been removed last November for refurbishing. The celebration will take place on the cemetery grounds, which will ultimately be transformed into a park with the refurbished archway as its focus.
“The event will go forward, rain or shine, and we’ve got pop-up tents to shield all participants either from the sun or rain,” said Christine Olsen, president of the cemetery association.
One of the features of the celebration will be a self-guided tour of the gravesites and mausoleums of famous and notable persons buried in the cemetery. The idea of a self-guided tour was the brainchild of Olsen and Irene Dusenbery.
