JUN <br />13 <br />1984 <br />BocK <br />57 PA,,P <br />413 <br />some <br />type of reverter clause needs to be included <br />in the <br />transfer or sale document in the event the church ever <br />ceases to be a viable entity. <br />Commissioner Lyons suggested that we decide on some set <br />back from the streets for any new burials in case the road <br />needs to be widened at some time in the future. <br />Commissioner Wodtke believed that some local people <br />might have records of relatives buried in the cemetery, <br />which dates back to the early 1000s. <br />Administrator Wright reported that he has talked with <br />Mrs. Meltzer, whose family apparently donated the land, and <br />who has a sister buried in the cemetery in 1905, and she has <br />no knowledge of any specific records other than memories. <br />He also talked with a lady whose husband was buried there in <br />the last few years, and when they dug down, they hit an <br />existing grave. There is an area that is not usable, but <br />there is an area that can definitely be used for approxi- <br />mately 400 future burials. <br />Commissioner Wodtke was concerned that some graves <br />might be disturbed without having proper records available. <br />Administrator Wright noted that the cemetery is located <br />next to a particular church and they have expressed an <br />interest, but they might not be the only ones interested. <br />Commissioner Lyons thought it might be helpful if an <br />article appeared in the newspapers asking if anyone has <br />records or information of relatives or friends buried there. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, the Board <br />unanimously (4-0) authorized staff to proceed <br />with the investigation of the disposal of <br />Oslo Cemetery, with the understanding that <br />when the proposal is made, it will be brought <br />back to the Board. <br />21 <br />-I <br />
