Nephi City Council takes steps to reclaim unused cemetery plots in both Nephi City Gemeteries By Myroa Trauntvein Times-New- s Correspondent Nephi City officials will be making a strong attempt at contacting families who own plots in either of the cemeteries in Nephi where there has been no activity in the last 60 years. Under terms of a new resolution adopted Tuesday, the city may reclaim those old plots. Burial rights to the plots may now be issued to others. Council members adopted the resolution which calls for the city to place a notice in the local newspaper. Owners of the plots will be contacted at the last known address. The newspaper notice will have to serve as a warning of the citys intent if there is no address available. If we know the last address, we will send them a copy of the notice, said Don Eyre Jr., city attorney. An owner or heir has a right to submit a claim which will be reviewed by officials. The city used to sell a deed for a cemetery plot, said Eyre. That is no longer the case, he said. We qow sell burial rights. After 30 days have transpired from the last notice date, said Eyre, the city has a right to sell the plots. There are a lot of old Nephi names, said Eyre. The Nephi 2nd LDS Ward is listed as an owner. It may have been purchased for indigent use, said Eyre. However, there has been no activity on the plot for more than 60 years. Employees have gone through the cemetery records and determined which plots were sold more than 60 years ago and where there has been no activity. Placing notices and sending letters may prove to be some- what expensive, said Eyre. It is i 10 pages Wednesday, April 27, 1994 cheaper than going out and buy- were not in compliance.
