[edit] Vandalism

I see that a photo mentions vandalism in the cemetery, could someone expand on this in the text of the article? Altairisfartalk 00:26, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

The statue shown is a replacement for the original statue. The statue shows dogs that have treed a coon at the top of a hollow tree. The remains of the original statue still stand, but I did not take a picture of it while I was there. I probably should next trip. My family had gatherings at the shelter when I was a child and my grandfather was a friend of Key Underwood, thus my fascination. The new statue is slightly taller / bigger than the original and the club maintaining the cemetery had a protective fence built around the new statue. It is a shame that vandals must attempt to destroy a monument commemorating such a beautiful place. Mark @ DailyNetworks talk 03:47, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Per the request I will word something for the article and get a picture of the original statue. It may take a couple of weeks. Mark @ DailyNetworks talk 03:49, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
