This and other burial plots in the Four Chaplains Memorial Garden at Arborcrest appear to have been untouched by mower since Memorial Day when the flag and artificial flowers were placed on this grave. Most of the ground level bronze markers in the cemetery can only be found by accident while walking through a sea of weeds which is generally at least knee-high. The weeds in this garden are higher than those in some of the other gardens, but in all but one of the four present gardens the ground level grave markers are obscured by high grass and weeds.

Arborcrest Cemetery Mowed. Mowing makes a big difference in the appearance of Arborcrest Cemetery. Covered with knee-high weeds which obscured floral arrangements and gravemarkers when pictures appeared in The News July 11, the markers and flowers are now within view, and the rolling land included in the 40-acre cemetery and its trees and bushes are neatly manicured. All this took place since a court decision on July 12, which restored the onetime 77-acre cemetery to a 40-acre cemetery. The cemetery was not well cared for during the course of the lawsuit which sought to overturn the sale of 60 acres of the 77 to the University. Circuit Judge James R. Breakey Jr. on July 12 ordered the U-M to return 23 acres.
