Seed money for the various tasks, including installation of brick columns, iron fence sections and signage, was gathered. However, private donations are needed to ensure that the $30,000 project is completed.

The four-person Cemetery Board has been leading fundraising efforts.

“The donations they have been working on have had an excellent return,” said Farragut City Clerk Becki Sickman. “So far, more than $10,000 has been received.”

Sickman also said board members are applying for grants to help with the replacement of the cemetery cannon’s base.
