Fannin County, Texas -- Seeking volunteers to spend a day in the country at Shilo Cemetery clearing out weeds and fallen tree branches, sawing sprouts from numerous tree stumps, and cutting up a fallen tree. 

Bring chain saws, loppers and shovels if you have them.  Gloves, long pants, long sleeves, and sturdy shoes are highly recommended. 

Shilo is a two-acre, 180-year-old final resting place for almost 200 white and black families.  It is located SE of Bonham, about 1/3 mile off CR-3015.  There will be yellow signs to mark the entrance and the route across pasture to the cemetery.

Come when you can, and stay as long or as little as you're able.
