Spencer, IA (KICD) — Former Spencer Mayor Kevin Robinson became the Superintendent of the two city-owned cemeteries in 2022 and embarked on an aggressive beautification program.

Robinson and Cemetery Technician Ed Lawver are currently cleaning and straightening stones from the 1800s that no longer stand straight.

Future priorities are erecting a monument for unmarked graves, and 120-thousand-dollar repair work to the mausoleum.

 

Once Veteran’s Flags at Riverside and North lawn Memorial Park Cemeteries only flew in the summer, but the new policy is to fly them all year long.
