Letter to Editor
Sir:
Tuesday of last week I stopped
at Wood Lawn cemetery in At
kinson to visit our relatives’
graves. To my horror, I found a
well-dressed, reddish-hair wom
an, about 45-years-old, picking
the geraniums that were bloom
ing on my grandmother’s grave.
She said she guessed she owed
us an apology and then offered
to pay for the flowers.
“They were so beautiful, I just
couldn’t help it,” she related. I
was so shocked, I just said, “No.”
Two plants from another grave
in our plot had been dug up. This
is not the first time this has
happened to our graves.
I wonder if any other people
in Atkinson have had the same
trouble.
Sincerely,
(Name Withheld on Request)
Leave for Wyoming—
Mrs. Lorena Duffy and daugh
ter, Marylin, left for their home
in Casper, Wyo., on Tuesday after
a two weeks visit in O’Neill with
relatives and friends.
