SACRED HEART CEMETERY TO BE BEAUTIFIED; PLANS DISPLAYED
Read by Martha J. Martin and others in early 1990
NOTE: Sacred Heart Cemetery belongs to St. Lawrence Catholic Church for the burial of its members.
Sacred Heart Cemetery, located on Hecla Road beyond Coryville, is to be beautified this summer, and plans for the improvement are now being completed by committees from the St. Lawrence congregation.
The biggest improvement at the burial plot will be the erection of a new fence along the highway and the construction of a new entranceway. The beauty of the design is shown in drawings, and plans are now being perfected for these items. These plans will be placed on display in the McCauley display windows during this week.
The present gates and fence are to be torn down, and a rubble stone fence with piers and ornamental iron is constructed. A stone and
steel circle approach, similar in appearance to that built at Memorial Cemetery in Wheelersburg, is to be provided and the state highway property through the removal of a dead tree and cleaning up of the highway berm and drainway.
Sacred Heart cemetery is privately owned, and the improvement is to be cared for by those with burial plots there and others of St. Lawrence church. Bids are to be received soon, and it is hoped to start actual construction within the near future.
