WILLIAMS – When Mike Diaz called for a cemetary clean-up on Facebook, he got enough response to try to get a community clean-up of the Williams Cemetery on Route 66. The date was finally set for August 15 at 5 p.m.
Jana and Kimberly with the Women of Williams group who helped organize the clean-up.
The first group was small—about nine people—but they worked hard. Most worked in the old portion of the cemetery on the east side. The group collected about eight large bags of debris from the old cemetery. Some worked to repair some broken crosses on the old graves.
Connie and Robin work to fix a cross on one of the graves in the old cemetery.
There were some comments about the notice for the clean-up that expressed interest in another round of clean-up. It would help to have some more tools—notably weed-whackers—and some more hands. If there is interest in another round of clean-up, it could be organized for September. Anyone interested can email editor@northernarizonagazette.com.
Glen and Prince returned after several years to join the clean-up effort.
