Letter To Editor
To Whom It May Concern Washington Lodge No. 78
I share with many others a deep concern over the condition of Washington Masonic Cemetery this summer.
On making inquiries from several individuals about why the cemetery is not kept in good condition the answer is always “It is supposed to be.” My question is if that is the case, why is it not being done? It would entail a simple task of mowing.
It is true that many lot owners do their own upkeep work, keeping their place trimmed and decent, but it is most disheartening and embarrassing to look around and see the general uncared for and neglected condition of the area.
Surely a sacred place bearing the proud name of Washington Masonic Cemetery should not be allowed to present such a disgraceful appearance.

Three Homes Open
For Annual Tour
Two Eighteenth Century dwellings and a contemporary home will be opened to visitors during the thirteenth annual House Tour and Dried Flower Arrangement Sale sponsored by the Women of the Church of Bromfield Parish. This year’s tour is scheduled for October 17 and 18. The three homes, all in Rappahannock County, are The Shade, built in 1780 and owned since 1950 by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Summers; the Roy House, a log structure erected about 1796 and recently remodeled by Mr. and Mrs. Newbill Miller; and White Walnut Hill, the new home near Woodville of Mr. and Mrs. James J. Kilpatrick.
