January 21, 2021 – Dan Safford and Margaret Safford Canella, descendants of Helen Joy Landry Safford, visited the tomb with an extension ladder. We removed the vines and trees at the top of the tomb and treated the cut ends with herbicide to kill the vines. We owe a huge THANK YOU to Dan. He has maintained the vine issues on the tomb for many years single handedly! Thank You Dan!
