It looks like the PGCA will be the Parker Family Plot caretakers going forward.

If this be the case, and there’s no good reason why it shouldn’t be, I would like to volunteer to be on the ‘committee’ but we’ll need some young guys and girls to help.

At this point, string trimmers and grass seed should do it. Thanks to the original group who worked on the project. Be careful with chemicals used to clean the stones. It could damage the grass permanently. Hot water and scrub brushes might be the best tool for that job. Dave, thanks for the update.

I believe the appearance of the Parker Family Plot today is due the efforts of Allan Swanson, Edgar Spencer and Keith earlier this spring. Thanks Very Much Guys!!

Probably an annual soap and water scrubbing wouldn’t hurt, along with mowing and trimming. Would all take about a half day.

Thank you. That’s not a small plot. He had 10 children, but only 5 lived to adulthood.
