African-American Coffeeville Cemetery Fence
Donation protected
Friends,
Since my Dad became ill and passed away, I have been spending more time going by Coffeeville Cemetery. To the East side of the cemetery is a section where predominantly African American members of the Coffeeville community have been buried. The upkeep of that part of the cemetery has been separate and apart from the other part of the cemetery. Every time I drive down the road, I look at the fence on that section which is in terrible condition and which needs to be replaced. I have secured a bid for $5,025.00 to replace the fence with a black vinyl cyclone with two 12 foot gates, new posts, and labor. My goal and hope is to make both sides look equally nice. Those buried there deserve it. Although I know this is a bad time for everyone, I would appreciate any help you could give in making this project a reality. I am dedicated to ensure this project happens.
Much love to all of you during this time, Joe.
