Firm to propose cemetery wall repairs

The west end of Marion Cemetery’s wall along Denver St. awaits repair after it collapsed in late May or early June.

City clerk Janet Robinson said the damage was caused by moisture leaking into the top cap of the wall, then freezing and thawing over time.

The wall collapsed after Memorial Day weekend, she said.

The city put out a call for repair bids. Hartman Masonry from Council Grove plans to bid on the repairs.
