It would be very difficult to arrive at the number of hours and probable dollar value for all the volunteer work that has been done since the early 1840s to present day. If you go to Button 23 your will see a list of the prior officers who have volunteered a great deal of time to keep the cemetery operating. If you go to Button 10 you will see the current persons list for board members and contacts.  If you want to see the results of some of the volunteer work you can go to Buttons 38 and 44 and then scroll down. This primarily involves the stones, monuments and plantings, and involves new roads and the chapel remodeling.  Buttons 41 to 43 can also be reviewed without scrolling from another Button.

The city and town and various charitable organizations have been very much involved in the need to keep the cemetery a place for persons to spend time thinking about the people that are related to them in some way and are now in heaven.

The Whispers group which has ties to the Donald Vande Sand Historical Research Center has put on late year cemetery walks which involved learning about people buried there that were important to the progress of Burlington in some way. There are several Buttons for pictures related to those walks.   All of the people  portrayed were prior volunteers as officers or as just concerned citizens of the City or Town and not only spent time on cemetery activity, but also on making BURLINGTON City and Town a  better place to live.  Button 49  has a list of the recent donations related to the ROADS and the CHAPEL, which have both been improved in the last 4 years appreciably due to those donations. Along with money from the City and Town for roads. If you haven't driven through the cemetery for a while, maybe it would be something to think about.  Throughout the webpage there are ANGELS that have been very involved in Cemetery operations.  We know there are more but really cannot display the many. By the way, this webpage is currently being kept up by Paul B. Edwards and some of the pictures and data are from his portfolio and his thoughts. Should you be even mildly offended by anything presented that appears to be his pictures or thoughts, please let him know at arepbep85@gmail.com or 262-763-3929. He will find a way to replace or delete as long as he is the webpage operator. Of course, if you think something needs to be added you can also email or call him.
