“One of the wonderful things about the Waxahachie community is there has been this huge outpouring of people that want to help in different ways, but we do ask that before you come out here and try to do any work, that you coordinate through our Parks and Recreation Department that does oversee the cemetery,” said Borders.
“People have also reached out wanting to make financial contributions. There are several different ways to do that that we’ve put in place, all of that information is on our city website," she said.
Many of the damaged headstones have been there since the 1850s, making it difficult for city employees to identify the owner.
“It is unfortunate and they are going to take some real tedious work and TLC to repair, but we’ll get it done,” said Borders.”
