Cottonwood Cemetery is getting a face-lift after 150 years. Stone Creek Landscaping and Nursery, Inc. are planting 26 new trees including two Seedless Siouxland Cottonwoods, three Sunset Maples, one Hackberry, six Flowering Crabs, two French Lilacs, four Blue Spruce, and eight Concolor Evergreens. Back fill with black dirt along with two applications of grass seed have already taken place in areas that have sunken caused by the previous drought.

Chairperson Shirley Deuel Miller, Co-Chairman Don Deuel, Interim Secretary Audrey Williams, and Township Trustee, board member, and caretaker Terry Finley; were all on hand to help assist with the tree planting. Other members of the Cottonwood Cemetery include Treasurer Jim Bruce, Township Trustee Don O’Tool and board member Gary Spencer. Shirley Deuel Miller and Don Deuel are the children of Evelyn Deuel who was a long term standing member.
