J Cleaning around some graves at the Pleasant Grove Cemetery on Memorial Day are, L-R, L-R, Florence Voorhees, Jacynthia and Orin Voorhees, Steven Rogers and Virginia Voorhees. Family learns patriotism from cemetery visits One Pleasant Grove mother feels that it is important for her children to' learn about patriotism, and although they do not have any relatives or friends buried in the cemetery, they visit there on Memorial Day anyway. Florence Voorhees took her children Jacynthia, Orin, and Virginia, and a friend, Steven Rogers, to the Pleasant Grove cemetery on Monday. They walked around and looked at the graves with flags on them, looked for veterans graves and talked about folks who had lived to very old age and babies who had died at birth. They have moved out here from New York and Mr. Voorhees works at BYU. They have visited other cemeteries, too, including the one at Delta a couple of years ago. The children clean around the graves and put water in flower containers con-tainers that need it. They planned to attend the memorial service at the cemetery Monday morning but one was not held this year. The family read the names of all those who are listed in memorial at the flagpole at the cemetery. |
