The City of Summerville continues to make improvements at the Summerville Cemetery. Last year, the city took over responsibility for the upkeep after the trustees of the Summerville Cemetery Corporation came to the city to ask for help in maintaining the cemetery. Earlier this week, the city, along with the Friends of Summerville Cemetery had a cleanup day. Yesterday, the city posted new signs that instruct anyone doing work at the cemetery to contact the city for prior approval before work begins. Anyone with questions about the cemetery may contact Summerville City Hall at 706-859-0900.
