I want to voice

the family's concerns o ver

the future of the cemetery and state that we are adamantly opposed to

the relocation of the cemetery. There is a covenant written by the family

stating in part, "...no person can ever disturb the remains of the

persons who sleep here, and who may sleep here in the future."

I was in the

area about five years ago on a genealogy research trip and visited the

cemetery. At that time I had to walk quite a distance from Peters Road

to reach the cemetery site. I have been told that where I entered has

now been barricaded and posted with "no trespassing" signs.

There are numerous

descendants of George and Sarah West Peters in Mississippi, Texas and

California whom I personally know. The ones I have been able to contact

are of one mind, i.e., they will not consider having the cemetery moved

and will require open access to the cemetery.

I have today

written letters stating these concerns to Williams Energy Co., Fulton

Energy Center, Mr. Doug Dillard, attorney for the Williams Energy Co.,

Senator Hecht, Representative Teague, Mr. William Edwards and Mr. Mike

Kenn, both on the board of Commissioners for Fulton County and Mr. Michael

Scharko.

The family

is adamant both about not having the cemetery moved and having open access

to the site.

Sincerely,

Jan Peters
