Members of the Sumpter Township Board of Trustees unanimously approved four new members of the cemetery commission during the July 25 meeting.
Named to the commission charged with overseeing the repairs and renovation of the historic Martinsville Cemetery in the township were Township Manager Anthony Burdick, Finance Director Scott Holtz, Deputy Clerk Karen Armatis and Jared Belingham, a township resident.
Armatis also presented a report to the board on recent progress at the cemetery including the purchase of flag holders for the graves of veterans for flags the township had already purchased. She said the township had recently sent in an application to the state to have a historic marker installed at the cemetery but that approval process would take 10 to 12 months.
