Other_Information:
Update : Since the posting on June 8, 2002
the Old Campbell County Historical Society and dedicated
individuals from the Rico area have begun the process of restoring
the cemetery. Thanks to SavingGraves.com and these dedicated
individuals; what was once an overgrown and neglected weedpatch is
rapidly becoming a beautiful, "old time" cemetery.
Hopefully this renewed interest in the cemetery will protect it
for many years to come.
