The Friends of Waverly Cemetery Preservation unveiled a new historical marker in Glenwood Cemetery Saturday morning in a public ceremony.<\/p>\n

The historical marker states, \u201cGlenwood Cemetery and Mausoleum has been placed on the national register of historical places in 2016 by the United States Department on Interior.\u201d<\/p>\n

Obtaining the marker has been a lengthy process, with the site having been included on the national and state registers of historic places since 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe main topic of today is on the historical marker here,\u201d stated former Mayor Dan Leary, who addressed those in attendance as part of the ceremony. \u201cWhat happens here is long hard work by the committee to get to today’s presentation. It didn\u2019t happen overnight. It took several years and a lot of paperwork and a lot of grants. Ron Keene (president of the group) has been on somebody’s doorstep or somebody\u2019s phone all the time. Sometimes the people he talks to probably consider it harassment, but I don\u2019t. That\u2019s how we get to today.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Friends of Waverly Cemetery Preservation, a nonprofit group of volunteers, has been working for many years to restore and preserve the village’s cemeteries.<\/p>\n

Its mission statement states, in part: \u201cOur objective is to restore and preserve the final resting place of our relatives and friends. We believe that these cemeteries constitute a memento of great accomplishment of the people that lived and worked here and their memory shall live on.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mausoleum has been a fixture of the village since 1924. According to Leary, it often went unrecognized or was the subject of speculation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve lived in this area my entire life and we use to go down to the glen as kids for recreation. This building is just sitting here and some people use to say, ‘What is that?’ and stories would go around about the Egyptian thing. It use to scare kids that King Tut is buried here and we never really knew until the last two years, where this whole atmosphere was opened up last year or the year before. You\u2019d be amazed if you have not been inside.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leary added that the community should proud to have such a location available.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot every community has one of these, we are very fortunate to have such a historic spot where we are today,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Leary thanked many for the work put in to make the historical marker a reality and warned citizens to keep an eye out for vandalism.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to your continued vigilante, watching of this very closely,\u201d said Leary. \u201cSomething like this, tied very closely with cemeteries, makes communities concerned about vandalism which seems to run in spurts. The committee worked together several years ago to put old stones back together, epoxy and many weekends. It\u2019s a continuing effort because these are older cemeteries, older stones, they take some maintenance with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The historical marker is on the front lawn of the Waverly’s Glenwood cemetery, near the mausoleum and a rare Civil War cannon that’s been encased for display in recent years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
