City Council considers cemetery ownership

Shrinking number of Oddfellows members reason for request

The Owenton Cemetery is for sale.
In their meeting Oct. 3, the Owenton City Council continued discussion on what to do regarding the International Order of Oddfellows Cemetery.
The Oddfellows, who have owned the cemetery for years, would like the city to take over ownership. Because of dwindling membership in the order, the Oddfellows are looking into the future and do not want to become so few they cannot keep up with the cemetery. They are hoping to have local ownership for the cemetery.
