Speakout

Cemetery needs to be cleaned up

I would like to speak out on the small cemetery that is north of Campanella Drive on Ingram Road. I believe it is called the Hart Cemetery, it is also known as the Baby Blue Graveyard. It’s a historical place and I’ve noticed there is a bulldozer and some excavating equipment sitting back there up on top of the hill. Back a year or two ago they went in there and tore up land around it. There were rumors that they hit a few of those graves. What most people in Sikeston don’t realize is there is a small, fenced in area, that has headstones in it, there right by Ingram Road. What they don’t realize is in those woods there’s probably between 50-75 graves with headstones. It’s grown up, there are vines everywhere, people don’t even know they’re in there, but they’re in there. I’m not sure if that property is privately owned or owned by the city but it would be nice instead of them tearing it up – those graves deserve respect. It is terrible it has grown up the way that it is. I wish somebody would do a story on that or Channel 12 news would do a story on that and people would get together and clean that up. I would be more than happy to go out there and do my part and stand the headstones back up.

Lambert’s is in Miner, not Sikeston

Hello Southeast Missouri. Hello Miner. We’re proud to have Lambert’s in our town. And it is in Miner, not Sikeston. How about that? Just like our Outlet Mall is in Miner too, but it says Sikeston. More people have more population and a little clout I guess. But we represent Lambert’s all year around. Not just every so many years with a plaque and all that. We’re here to support our businesses in Miner. And I do thank you. And God bless America.
