Cherokee Nation Donates $500 for Upkeep of Cemetery
The Jesse Creek Cemetery along Circle Mountain Road in Washington County will receive more restoration thanks to a $500 check from the Cherokee Nation.
Cherokee Nation Councilwoman Dora Smith-Patzkowski presented the check to Washington County Commissioner Mike Bouvier on Thursday, Jan. 14th. Commissioner Bouvier said the check is greatly appreciated.
Commissioner Bouvier said they've probably spent $1,000 so far to fix up the Jesse Creek Cemetery. He said they've spent $800 on cutting damaged trees down so visitors won't get hit.
On top of that work, Commissioner Bouvier said they've repaired head stones and they've even installed a gate.
