The City of Galesburg has scheduled a cleanup week at Linwood and East Linwood Cemeteries from September 22nd through 26th. Cemetery staff will remove all decorations, flowers, flags, and items placed on gravesites during this time. Families and plot owners wishing to keep any personal items are encouraged to retrieve them before the cleanup begins. Officials say the effort is vital for safe, respectful maintenance, helping to ensure proper mowing and landscaping. The city emphasizes that these steps are necessary to preserve the dignity and appearance of these sacred grounds for all who visit.
