A Cherokee County cemetery is vandalized for the third time in a year.
This past weekend, officials from Garden of Memories Cemetery, north of Pittsburg, discovered several bronze vases were stolen from headstones. Similar vases were stolen during the 4th of July weekend and in October, 2022. Officials say a total of 200 vases have been stolen from the cemetery in the last year.
Replacement costs for the vases is around $300, and upkeep and replacement costs are left up to the families of the individuals with the vandalized stones.
Those interested in helping recoup some of the costs from the vandalism may call (319) 233-6136.
