Mr. Hartman operated the cemetery until his passing 1995. The cemetery has remained in the family and is owned by Mrs. June Smith, the daughter of the late W.A. Hartman. From 1995 until April 2013, the cemetery was operated by June’s husband, Leroy Wilson Smith. Since Leroy’s passing, the cemetery is now managed by Mrs. Smith’s son-in-law, Douglas Pence.
