Cemetery Managers, Landowner Dispute Property Line
posted 11/17/09

Landowner Carthel Hodges says a survey found the property line is about 30 feet east of a barbed wire fence that's marked the line with Gray Cemetery for years. Work on a new fence has left tire tracks on some graves and apparently would run across others while separating about two dozen more graves from the rest of the cemetery.
Cemetery board chairman Robin Covington says the property has been considered part of the cemetery for the past 100 or more years. He says the board has hired an attorney and the issue may end up in court.
The first acre for the cemetery was donated in 1907 but markings on tombstones indicate burials starting in the late 1800s.
