Lodi Cemetery

Lodi Cemetery.

The Corporation Reorganized and Cemetery to be Enlarged.

The charter of the old Lodi cemetery Association has run out. Wednesday afternoon a meeting of the members was held at the residence of Sereno Bassett, the treasurer of the old society. The society was reorganized by electing Philip Blum, sr., Gilbert Hurd, Edward Hamel, Sereno Bassett, William Clements and Charles Herbert, directors. The board of directors then elected Gilbert Hurd, president; William Clements, vice president; Philip Blum, sr., secretary, and Sereno Bassett, treasurer. The society have an option on two acres of the old Frank Finker homestead. It is proposed to plat this land and fix it up for the purpose. The new society propose to have one of the prettiest cemeteries in the county. The relatives of many of the old pioneers of Lodi have been buried here. This cemetery has much historical interest, being laid out in connection with the Lodi Plains Presbyterian church formerly standing across the road and which was later moved to Saline. On these grounds in days gone by, the pupils of Dr. Nutting's Latin school would promenade and possibly many a youth and maiden plighted their troth.
