Grove Cemetery Update
In the spirit of this Thanksgiving season, the Eastford Grove Cemetery Association extends its sincere thanks to several groups.
We want to start with comments on the beautification work of Andert Construction, Mike and Joe Andert in particular, who took the large, classic old gates at the north end of the cemetery for a thorough refinishing. With the help of Eastford town employees, Ben and James, the gates were removed and returned safely. We thank them all. Another beautification improvement has been the planting of eight spiraea bushes on the parking lot side of the property, an effort led by David Barlow and assisted by Rick Torgeson, Beverly and Victor Salcius. Also, Eastern Construction, owned by Gary Whittenburg, corrected the erosion problem in the southwest corner of the parking lot.
Finally, a word of appreciation to the Trustees, Corporators and friends who removed the veteran and fire department flags on Nov. 13. All of this has been done to support the cemetery, which is not a town-owned property. If you would like to contribute to our beautification efforts, please use the form below.
