"To know the character
of a community I need only to visit the cemetery." Benjamin

With much gratitude,
Ruby Preston has provided the cemetery photograph and the oldest of three
deeds to the Lake Creek Cemetery. Most importantly, she has provided
a surname index to the Lake Creek Cemetery. This submission is so valuable
to genealogists and family historians seeking the burial grounds of their
Delta County ancestors. If you locate your surname, please contact Donald
Preston for additional information the Delta
County Library. We celebrate with hats off and much love to Mrs. Ruby Preston who cares deeply about the preservation of Lake Creek Cemetery. From the photograph provided, it is apparent that The Lake Creek Cemetery Association members are a truely dedicated group of individuals. Honorable mention to the association members: W. T. "Butch" Burns, Patricia "Pat" Gilbert, Brenda Miller, LaFray Mitchell, Donald R. Preston, James T. Preston, & Ruby Preston. |
Previously, Mr. Art
Gilbert and his son maintain the Lake Creek Cemetery grounds. Even with
health problems, Mr. Gilbert worked very hard to keep the cemetery grounds
looking nice. He went the extra mile to make repairs and paint. We
the Gilberts and extend our humble appreciation wholeheartedly. |
