The idea for this living history lesson referred to as a Ghost Walk came about three years ago when Schelley Brown and local historian John Agan, both members of the Minden Cemetery Association, decided something was needed to assist in funding the upkeep and repairs of the grounds and headstones. Maintaining the cemetery is still the task of the Minden Cemetery Association, and now, as in 1883, they can always use financial assistance to preserve and protect this hallowed ground, Brown said.
