Rowan Cemetery was created in the 1800’s and has several Civil War Graves. The cemetery is non-profit and is maintained by a board to oversee the care and upkeeping of the graves and cemetery grounds.
As we enter the spring season, the cemetery will once again need mowing and w**ding each week.
Next week the board will be sending out letters asking for donations to support the care and keeping of the cemetery for 2025.

Sending love and peace as we remember loved ones from Christmas past.
