HARTVILLE--If stones and markers could talk, the stories would be amazing from the Hartville Cemetery. Former residents who called Hartville and Sunrise home over the past 100 years and more have made it their final resting place. Hundreds of names etched in rock faces represent hard-working people who came to the area to work and raise their families. But over time, there are graves who no longer have living loved ones able to take care of their plots and the vegetation has overgrown some areas.
The Friends of Hartville are looking for a few able volunteers who would like to help honor our history and those who lived it by spending whatever time they can offer in cleaning up those gravesites.
The group will also be looking to place some simple grave markers with names and dates for those who may not currently have an identifying monument.
If you would be willing to spend some time mowing, trimming and helping with the general clean-up, please contact Kathy Troupe (836-2538), Marian Offe (836-3124) or the Hartville Town Hall (836-2288).
