Index of Names

"The cemetery belongs to the Camptonville Cemetery District. There was never an official separation between upper and lower cemeteries. Both parts got kind of downtrodden after a while, so Acton Cleveland talked the county into forming a cemetery district to take care of them. Before the district, people would just clean their own family plots. Since 1958 or 1959 the taxpayers have been paying for the upkeep. When you sell a plot, the money goes into a trust fund. Of course, we only sell a plot here every five or ten years now. The price was ten dollars, then twenty, and I believe the minimum is sixty dollars now, unless they've changed it. They can never go down, but they can always go up." - Leland Pauly, 1993
