Washington Grove Cemetery in Ashton seeking donations

Washington Grove Cemetery on Flagg Road in Ashton is seeking donations to continue its operations and upkeep. The board members are all volunteers and its main source of income is the sale of gravesites and burials. With only about three to five burials each year, income does not keep up with the expenses of perpetual care. Perpetual care includes mowing, weed control, tree and monument maintenance. In winter, there’s also snow removal. Donations can be sent to the Cemetery treasurer, 4317 E. Hogan Road, Chana, IL 61015.
