Bio

I have been tracing my husband's family history and my own for 30 years and in 2009 a few of the Medley relatives were able to take over the care and upkeep of Sunny Side Cemetery in Jefferson County, Missouri. There are approximately 15-20 Medley relatives buried at Sunnyside as well as many others, about 82 total. This neglected cemetery was of need of major restoration and in the past few years our group has been able to clear some of the trees and overgrowth, put new rock on the driveway, and haul away trash that was dumped there for many years. School volunteers help us every spring removing leaves, etc. A new monument with Sunny Side Cemetery name was donated to the cemetery, replacing an old wooden marker. Hopefully, we will be able to preserve this cemetery for many years to come. Unfortunately, we were too late for Robertson Cemetery, that was vandalized about 2008.
