Weaver Cemetery Memorial Day June 2

The Weaver Cemetery Association will meet at 11 a.m. on June 2, 2019, at the Weaver Baptist Church.
All who have loved ones there, or an interest in the Weaver Cemetery, are encouraged to attend. Services will be followed by a covered dish lunch in the church dining hall. A Memorial roll call will be conducted to honor those that have died and been buried in the Weaver Cemetery since last year’s Memorial Day Service.
The cemetery had 70 stones turned over and flags burned. The Sheriff and Trustees of Hopkins County came and did the restoration. Please come
and thank them.

Anyone wishing to contribute to the care and upkeep of the Weaver Cemetery may do so by sending their donation to Weaver Cemetery Fund, Care of Nell Payne, 522 CR 3532, Saltillo, Tex., 75478.
