Charleston firm begins cleaning up Farmer City Cemetery

FARMER CITY – One look at the vandalized cemetery here, and you can see that the people who did this are not only disrespectful but just plain lazy.

Somebody knocked over dozens of tombstones at the Farmer City Cemetery last week, and there's no pattern to it – except that the criminals went after old, historic stones in poor repair.
