The Chamber of Commerce recently presented a Community Improvement Award to Girl Scout Troop 343 for the nice improvements made to the Town Cemetery in Downtown Smithville.
The Girl Scouts made this contribution as part of their Silver Award Project. After meeting with Mr. Tommy Webb and researching how to safely clean tombstones, they went to work. Tombstones were cleaned, a sunken grave and holes were filled, old vines from the fence were removed, 3 small trees were cut down, and trash and fallen limbs were collected and removed. Girl Scout Troop 343 would like to express their appreciation to Mr. Tommy Webb for his help, to Mr. Jewell Redmon for donating the topsoil, and to the City of Smithville for providing water
