The Turnersville Cemetery Association will host its quarterly meeting on Monday, Jan. 15, at 6 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Turnersville Community Center and is open to the public.
Within the Turnersville Cemetery Association, there are currently two vacancies on the board, so there will be new officers elected to fill those spots.
The Turnersville Community Center serves residents of the rural community of Turnersville (originally Buchanan Springs). Those interred at the cemetery include many past residents, with ranchers, farmers, merchants, physicians, teachers, ministers, and military veterans among them.
A cemetery association was formed in 1900 but disbanded in the 1930s. The Turnersville Cemetery Association reorganized in 1953 and continues to care for the burial ground. Today, the cemetery is one of the few remaining vestiges of the Turnersville community.
The community center is located at 8115 FM 182 in Turnersville.
