Farragut Cemetery Beautification and Improvement Project
May 26, 2011
Thanks to the many donations and various funding, the Farragut cemetery’s beautification project has been completed as you see in these pictures.
Formal dedication will be held at the Memorial Day Service in the cemetery May 30, 10 a.m.
The background of the sign was designed by Mr. Nelson of the Farragut school’s shop department with the assistance of the students. Various vendors completed the portions of the sign, columns, and iron fence.
Picture on left shows one of nine corner columns with iron fence sections. You’ll notice a Columnar Regal Prince Oak in the background which is
one of twelve planted in rows alternating with Columnar Cleveland Select Pear of which there are ten planted. Eighteen Columnar Norway Spruce were planted at the east end of the cemetery.
Picture on right is of a plot register and message center where there is a diagram of the cemetery and listings of all burials according to records. The donor list and other information are on the back.
Thanks to a generous grant and supervision by Harold Dinsmore, the crumbling cannon base was replaced with this granite stone. Not shown here are new flag poles that are used to fly flags of the various branches of military service as well as the American flag. They fly on Veteran holidays especially Memorial Day.
The improvements will be dedicated to the veterans and people of the community who are buried there.
