Youngsville Cemetery Work Bee

There is a Youngsville Cemetery Work Bee scheduled for Saturday, July 20th from 9 am – noon. There have been numerous inquiries made at the Boro office regarding the present condition of the cemetery. However, the Youngsville Cemetery does not fall under the jurisdiction of the Youngsville Borough. The Youngsville Cemetery actually has its own cemetery association/board.

However, in an effort to help our friends that are working so hard to take care of the cemetery the Boro has scheduled an “open to the community” work bee on July 20th from 9 am – noon. The Boro is appealing to residents to come for all or part of this work bee. Any time you can give to help clean up the cemetery would be appreciated. Please wear proper shoes, bring gloves, string trimmers, push-mowers, safety glasses, and ear plugs. The work bee will focus on trimming the hillside area to get it cleaned up, but also trimming around the headstones, and any other items the caretakers feel necessary. Please contact Youngsville Borough Manager Lisa Hagberg if you have any questions. Office: 814-563-4604 X2 or 814-431-5421. The Youngsville Cemetery Association needs board members. If you are interested in sitting on the Cemetery Board, contact Murray Trask at 814-563-9030 and leave a message.
