Sugar Hill Cemetery Trustees Request Your Help

Memorial Day is coming up. The cemetery trustees are trying to assure graves of veterans are properly acknowledged.

If you have family members interred in our Sunnyside and Streeter District cemeteries, please check your family plots over Memorial Weekend and let us know if a marker is missing.

Flags will be placed at all known veteran’s graves in the two weeks prior to Memorial Day.
