Lincoln Township Cemetery Improvements

The New Arch at the Cemetery

There were many people who assisted with the new arch at the cemetery. Deb Briggs was instrumental in designing and bringing the arch to life. She made the arrangements with the Mid Michigan Community College welding class and instructor, who built the arch. Several citizens came together to put the arch in place, which was quite an undertaking. Those individuals are JR Ringley, Bill Bergey, Ron Chapman, Wayne Harrington, and Marty Heize.

The Lincoln Township Board wishes to express our gratitude to all the people who have come together to make this wonderful improvement to our cemetery. Our sincerest apologies to any person who has helped out that I have forgotten to mention. Please let me know if I made a social boo-boo, and I'll fix it right away!!

Tree Planting

The new maple trees at the cemetery were recently improved with the addition of landscaping bricks.  Ron Chapman went and picked up the bricks and laid them himself. Marilyn Hudson, Janice Chapman and Elda Hilliard have done the plantings and are regularly tending the young plants.  Marilyn and Rolf Hudson have spent a great deal of time at the cemetery, last summer and this summer planting and tending the plants. The Township Board wishes to extend their sincerest appreciation to all the individuals
who have worked so hard to beautify the cemetery.

Township Legal Notices/Ads

At the meeting held on Feb. 08, 2010 the board decided that it is in the best interest of the citizens of Lincoln Township that we now place our legal ads (special meeting/public notices, election notices, Board of Review, etc..) in the Clare County Cleaver. We are aware of the inconvenience that this may cause our citizens who have for many years relied on the Review to keep themselves informed of such information. We ask for your understanding patience as we make this transition. The Cleaver is delivered weekly to the Lake George Grocery. You may obtain a subscription by calling 989-539-7496 or on the web at clarecountycleaver.net In county subscriptions are $24.00 per year and out of county are $26.00 per year.

Please feel free to contact me with your questions or concerns at 989-588-9841

Sincerely,

Carol Majewski, Clerk
