Report on clean-up of South Cemetery 1938
"Blandinsville's South Cemetery which last week at this time was a wilderness of weeds and brambles, is this week clean and trim. The transformation was brought about last Suturday when 40 men answered the call of Trustees Evan Williams, B. B. Martin and Blake Jones, Equipped with scythes, grubbing hoes, pitch forks and sickles, all 40 of them lit in on the mass of tangled overgrowth and laid it low. It was a big job. The cemetery was grown high not only with weeds but with tall grass that a scythe would scarcely cut. It required a lot of patient hacking, as well as a lot of hard labor. But it was all cut down, and trucks were kept busy all the afternoon in hauling away the the trash and hay. The amount of it was almost unbelievable."
