Lawrence Township trustees

Monday meeting

KEY ACTION Fielded a complaint about the condition of Clover Hill Cemetery and agreed to send the Police Department to the site to investigate the damage.

DISCUSSION Many of the headstones, some dating back to the 1850s, have been knocked over, broken or moved and stacked in piles. There appears to be a road being built to the south side of the property, said Kathryn Hardgrove Popio of Wadsworth, who visited the cemetery located on Deerfield Avenue as part of her research on cemeteries. Trustees and the road superintendent were stunned to hear of and see pictures of the damage. The Road Department maintains the property, which previously was owned by a church.

OTHER ACTION

UP NEXT Meet in regular session at 4:30 p.m. Sept. 11 at the township administration building.
