Rumbarger Cemetery Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 In the beginning of October, John Micks President of the Rumbarger Cemetery Preservation Society and the board members of the RCPS, gave a tour of Rumbarger Cemetery to several veterans in October 2016. Shown is the Soldiers Circle. Rumbarger has veterans from every war buried on Main Street. The board members place flags every year at all veterans graves in the cemetery. There is over 100 veterans buried in Rumbarger. Dobby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 yes it looks wonderful after decades of neglect.But it is a shame that it took the volantary effort of one man to wake Dubois up and create a society to take finally take care of it.Hats of to you Sam E.for all your work with the cemetery... I think that "one guy" was a vet from Reynoldsville. He would load his riding mower and equipment and truck on over to the cemetery. Also, he was looking for donations to help with the effort. What a beautiful job this has turned in to. BigT and Dobby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petee Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 The group effort is what made the cemetery what it is today. They established an official organization with financial records. Rumbarger Cemetery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
