Whose Responsbility Is It Anyway?

There is small cemetery in Ocala, FL, that is dieing a slow death.   The cause of death is contributed to decay and vandalism, but worse than that, the cause of death is due to apathy.  This beautiful cemetery is filled with the history of the area, soldiers who stepped up to fight for their beliefs during the Civil War,  a time when are our country was more divided than it is today, as well as young children and citizens of the area.

Fingers are pointed at city officials, whose responsibity it is to care for the cemetery. The  History Ocala Presevation Society did step up to arrange for volunteers but that was over 10 years ago. So who is responsible now?

When a city cemetery does not receive the care it deserves from the city whose job it is to care for the that cemetery, is it not the responsibility of its citizens to step up and fill that void? Or will this cemetery and its history disappear because those who could make a difference pointed the finger and said it was some one else's job. But isn't preserving our local cemetery and in essence the history of our communities all of our responsibility?

Step of citiziens of Ocala and do the right thing---Good luck!!
