Pond Springs Cemetery As discussed at the May meeting in Liberty Hill, a community service project has been set up. Today I spoke with Karen Thompson who is the contact person for the Pond Springs Cemetery, on Lake Creek Drive in Jollyville.

Mrs. Thompson is a descendant of the Jolly family, and was very thankful for our offer for assistance. She is sending me a packet of history and other information about the site and I will post it here when it comes in.

The next step is to decide on a date, the sooner the better. But, keep in mind July 4th is coming at us and that is usually a busy time at work for all of us. Post some comments below the story here and we can start hashing out a date, equipment, and all of that. I will also post a message over on Texas-Fire.

That is not nearly as bad as what I had envisioned! We can knock that out quick!

I think my church is also looking at taking on the up keep of this cemetary. We were a little disappointed that one chruch commited then backed out of the situation without no looking for people to replace them. There are quite a few of ff lawn services as well as there are a couple with my church. My deal is that let’s commit to this effort and not use it as a pr stunt. If possible, do you want to combine our resources so that one doesn’t take the brunt of the hit?

I’m sorry, I’m not used to this website again just yet. I’m sorry it took so long to approve those comments.

Yes ! I am not interested in stunts. More in keeping the place looking nice. I think it is an excellent idea to join crews and keep the maintenance maintained :)
Please post comments back here or shoot me an email and we will get this back on track. I still haven’t received anything from Mrs. Thompson yet; I will give her another holler.

I am in on helping. Many of my patients are in some fine cemeteries; its the least I can do.

I have been to this cemetery geocaching. It has some amazing history.
