I had been two years since I last visited the Butcher Cemetery "AKA Walnut Grove Cemetery" when I visited it on June 29 and again on July 2, 2017.
The overall condition of the property from the front by the street to the rear where a group of trees and bushes exist is in an improved state since my previous visit.
Many of the small plot markers that were obscured with overgrowth are now easily visible! Nice to see them.
The fence in area near the front was cleaned up considerably and three American Flags were placed on veterans flag holders there.
All of the veterans who have government issue gravemarkers also had American flags flying next to them.
There were some downed tree branches in the back, and of course the downed grave markers and monuments were still in the condition I last saw them. That situation will not change unless and until proper hands-on preservation work is conducted to address the various condition issues of the affected grave markers and monuments.
The cemetery sign is now a nice newer metal one that is secured to the wood frame. Two flags were placed on each stake that holds up the wood frame.
Thanking those who are placing American flags at the Butcher Cemetery, both on the grounds and at the gravesites of the Civil War veterans buried there.
