I am a resident of South Amherst near the cemetery. For 25 years I have
enjoyed walking thru the cemetery.
A very few of the old headstones are tipped over...but they have been
for many years. I do not and have not witnessed vandalism of any sort.
Even if a fence is installed around the perimeter it would not keep
folks out who are determined to enter. $40,000.00 is too much to spend
on a fence...Fix the Town Hall and the East Street School. Let's get our
priorities straight.
