Rumbarger Cemetery Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 SPECIAL PROGRAM HERE SATURDAY DEC 15 HONORING OUR PRESENT VETERANS, THOSE SERVING NOW, AND REMEMBERING THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED AWAY Wreaths Across America is a nonprofit organization founded in 1992 to honor or remember veterans via an annual wreath-laying program. Its mission, Remember, Honor, Teach, is carried out in part by nation-wide ceremonies on Saturday December 15 at veteran's cemeteries such as Rumbarger Cemetery in DuBois. In doing so we spread our message about the importance of remembering our fallen heroes, honoring those who serve and teaching our children about the sacrifices made by veterans and their families to preserve our freedoms. The events are made possible by thousands of volunteers who organize local ceremonies, raise funds to sponsor wreaths, and participate in the events. We receive no government funding. The costs are borne by individual wreaths sponsors, donors, and volunteers. The local VFW Honor Guard will have a special program at Rumbarger Cemetery on Saturday December 15 to honor Veterans starting at 10:00 AM. The Chaplin will speak, a wreath will be placed on the grave of James J. Patterson and a gun salute will take place followed by the placing of the wreaths on the other veterans's graves. Marine Private James Patterson was the first from our area to be killed in WW I. The DuBois Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 813 is named in his honor. The public is invited to this short ceremony at 10AM. You may also lay a wreath if you would like to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claugh Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Anyone who has read this far knows that there are people trying hard to make the Rumbarger Cemetery a place of which we can all be proud. This is what is located at the dumpster in the back of the cemetery. We have limited funds and now have to pay to dispose of someone's tires because they were too cheap to do it. Also, the garbage in the dumpster did not come from the cemetery. Just because there is somewhere to put trash doesn't mean you should bring it from home. Be a part of the solution, not the problem. April 20th is Clean-Up Day in DuBois and we would welcome any help to clean-up the cemetery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumbarger Cemetery Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 A big thank you to Barb Kopshina,Tony Harris, Denny Laughlin, Carol Laughlin and Melanie McGinnis for working at Rumbarger Cemetery today. Rumbarger was part of the Great American Clean up day held in DuBois today. They braved the snow and high winds and got a lot accomplished today. They couldn't do any of their painting projects since it was 35 degrees, but the sidewalks and the entrance were swept, gravel cleaned up, 6 bags of garbage was collected and fallen limbs were removed.

Rumbarger Cemetery Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 We would like to thank all the people that have planted flowers on graves this year. It's so nice to see so many flowers all around the cemetery. Most of the people buried at Rumbarger have no family alive to care for their graves. Having different people just plant one random grave has brightened up the cemetery a lot. Some people have even planted three and four graves or a family. Rumbarger has a large array of different wild flowers, roses and plants blooming now until winter. Some are over 100 years old. It's amazing how the wind carries seeds and flowers grow. Take a walk through and check out all the flowers, butterflies and plants. wonderer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
