NOTICE
The members of the council of the
city of Ocala and the board of Com
missioners for Marion county during
the past year made an appropriation
of sufficient funds to erect a substan
tial enclosure around the city ceme
tery for which the members of the
Cemetery Association wish to express
their appreciation and also to tender
their thanks to Mr S R Pyles and to
Mr E T Helvenston for their direc
tion and supervision of the work by
which we have a handsome and dur
able fence which takes in the graves I
of all the white and colored people It
also incloses an additional lot donated I
in 1SS9 by the late Hon John G Rear I
donNow
Now that this much needed work is
finished the Cemetery Association re
quests that persons interested in this
the old city cemetery will visit it to
identify and mark their graves where
needed clean up their inelosurev and
where fences are falling down to
either renew or take away the derbis
There does not now exist the same
necessity for inside enclosures as for
merly and we request that everyone
will do what he can to make the cem
etery as attractive as possible and
thereby show that we have not lost
sight of our beloved dead but still
cherish them in affectionate remem
