Letter to the Editor:

We were at a funeral burial today, July 24, 2009 at the Oak Hill Cemetery in Tama. The cemetery was very disgraceful. Parts of the lawn had been mowed, and looked like it needed to be bailed. Grass was blown all over some of the tombstones, where you could not even read the names, not just the flat ground tombstones, which were also covered. The plot where our relative was buried had not even been mowed. We could not believe how awful it looked out there. Do we not have a lawn keeper for the cemetery? The cemetery is the only place some people can go to have peace and be with their family members that have passed away.
