HOISINGTON, Kan. (AP) The Barton County Sheriff’s Office is looking for those responsible for damaging nearly three dozen tombstones in a cemetery near Hoisington.
Authorities believe the damage to the headstones, many from the late 1800s or early 1900s, happened last weekend.
The Hutchinson News reports that a group of volunteers from the Hoisington area plan to work together to clean up the Methodist Cemetery, which is northeast of Hoisington.
Tom Van Brimmer, who helped maintain the cemetery for several years, said volunteers started cleanup efforts Wednesday night.
