SAVE St. Mary Cemetery – Activists hope to prevent destruction of local cemetery
All walks of life, young and old, attended the SAVE St. mary Cemetery Rally held recently near Italy, Texas to see for themselves the level of damage inflicted on the burial site by the Creek Land & Cattle Company out of Nevada. On the left is Bruce Fowler who is a member of Ellis County Historical Commission. William Allen, on the right, along with Curtis Kirby, discovered the damage in March when they both arrived at the cemetery to mow the grass. Allen drove in on his motorcycle from Natchitoches, Louisiana and is the brother of Elmerine Bell. (Barry Byers)
