The Guymon Daily Herald is working on a story about items that were removed from the cemetery over the weekend. Pictured are just some of the items removed. The GDH received a notice which was placed in our paper stating the following: "Elmhurst Cemetery Day Clean-Up will be held Thursday, July 14th. The City of Guymon requests that all flowers placed at the Cemetery be removed from the grave sites. This allows employees to keep the grass mowed. For questions please call Luis Sandoval at 580.651.0917." Citizens are upset that items were removed that had been placed on graves of loved ones for years. Benches, crosses, angels and many other objects were removed. Phone calls to the City of Guymon have not yet been returned. If you would like to make a statement to run with the story, please comment below, or feel free to call the paper. We will keep you updated as we learn more.
