3. Find new locations for burials.
Discussed what areas should be opened for burials, each area has issues and it was decided that
committee Chairman Klose should ask Robert Schessler would sell a 100 foot by the length of the
cemetery piece of land. This would solve most issues as water and road access is in place.
