Summary

In 1974 Bob McGlocklin’s Circle M cemetery-maintenance crew could no longer continue its service, and the Bing McCafferties undertook Holy Cross Parish Cemetery upkeep. The notice also offered grave-site repairs by arrangement and made topsoil available at the entrance.

Evidence and limits

This is a reported service transition, not a contract or completion register. The source does not supply full names for the McCafferties, rates, work orders, or a schedule.

It also offers grave-site work by arrangement and topsoil at the cemetery entrance; it does not establish a contract, payment, schedule, or completed work.
