D. Ward <br /> Cc: Jessica Loftus <br /> Subject: Re: Union Cemetery <br /> Mr. Ward, <br /> This cemetery is in the City of Orono, not in the City of Long Lake. I am forwarding on your concerns <br /> on to an appropriate City of Orono representative. <br /> Terry <br /> On Thu, May 24, 2012 at 12:35 PM, M. D.

Clasen) on County Road 6. The other side of my family was the Dickey farm (Guy <br /> Dickey) on Browns Road. Clasen Lake and Dickey Lake are both named after these pioneers. It was almost <br /> impossible to find headstones due to brush and weeds. This disrespect to these founding family's and the <br /> condition of the cemetery is deplorable. There are many veterans that died defending this nation buried in this <br /> cemetery as well as a great number of pioneers that helped the area become what it is today. As a youth I <br /> always looked forward to marching with the Boy Scouts to the Memorial Day ceremonies. The cemetery was <br /> always spotless and the ceremonies were well attended. I will appreciate hearing from you regarding any <br /> plans for the Union Cemetery. Sincerely, Murray D.
