July7, 2011 I have had a few heated discussions within the last week concerning the Gunckle Family Plot at the If you look at this photo you will see that it is not only Ida Vail Gunckle’s tombstone that has been damaged but those of her entire family seem to have been damaged in a similar manner. You must find the section corner pin before you can solve this problem. |

So in that picture the stone that is being run over as part of the driveway is someone's headstone? Wow, that's nuts.

Yes that's correct.
It looks like all of these stones may have been run over at some point in time. Maybe in the winter when snow was on the ground and they couldn't see the stones. The records show that Ida Vail Gunckle is buried in the corner 1st lot and her husband Charles F Gunckle is buried buried beside her in the 2nd lot. |

So where exactly would this Corner Pin or Corner Lot Marker be located, because I am surprised that after all the time you spent in the cemetery it has not been uncovered or located by you or someone else in the city.
Does anyone have an old map of the cemetery that might show how that driveway looked, or was there even a driveway there to begin with.
I do not think that the roadways can be widened or roads blocked off that is just crazy.

Whats it going to take for them to get that the people of Middletucky just dont believe in them anymore?

Summerrain - The iron corner marker was placed in each corner of this section when it was surveyed and can be located with a metal dectector by the city. If not then they will need to resurvey the area.
I am surprised that after all the time you spent in the cemetery it has not been uncovered or located by you or someone else in the city. The marking of the roads and sections can only be done by the City. Not my job. Does anyone have an old map of the cemetery that might show how that driveway looked, or was there even a driveway there to begin with.
The City has all the survey maps at the Engeneer's Office to solve this problem. So why can't the corner be squared off and a marker or stake put there? That is the same question that I have been asking.....You will need to restrick all the large City trucks from using this corner. They will need to use nothing larger than a pick up truck. I do not think that the roadways can be widened or roads blocked off that is just crazy. You must find the corner markers in order the find out where the drives are located. The drives in the cemetery are different widths. I believe the main driveway is 16' and the short driveway in front of the vault is 30' wide. I believe all this informations is clearly marked on the maps located in the Engineers Office. |

Here is the link to the Middletown Cemetery web page.
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ohcmiddl/MiddletownCemetery1.htm It contains all the known 7,000 people buried in the cemetery and more than 4,000 photos of their tombstones. If you need more information on any person you may contact me at diggerviv@juno.com and I will send you any information that I have in my files |

Thanks Ms. Moon, thought meeting was last night also, If you can keep the pictures coming. I still feel that the down line folks at the city do want to do the right thing for this Cemetery but are caught up in the never ending BullSH-T of the second floor at the city building. Yep, markers being driven over at OUR City Cemetery. Maybe the Board can create a sub-com. to study this issue!?

So, the City of Middletown has $9,900 to DEMOLISH perfectly good street lights on South Main Street, but doesn't have the money to re-install tarps on the 150 year old vault at the HISTORIC Pioneer Cemetery???

Perhaps a petition requesting a replica antique tarp would sway the village council. Their purse strings seem to be easily loosened by that sort of thing.

The Middletown Cemetery Committee presented a petition of more than 220 names requesting the restoration of the cemetery and vault and the City Council did’t say a word. |

Pardon me for being unclear. In this case, the Council will require a petition with the signatures of a minimum of 60% of the residents of the plots abutting the vault.

MR.Saunders maybe you can ask one of your "Spineless" buddies why they didnt take the tarps and labor to put back up on the vault?Wouldnt have cost them a thing but there comeant to me was "WE HAVE IT HANDLED."They havent had anything handled for years.They all need to just go away.
