     Things are looking good at the Coulter City Cemetery.
     The cemetery board is happy to announce that restorations have been completed for the cemetery’s war memorial. Built in the 1950s, the war memorial has honored fallen soldiers in the cemetery for decades, but time has taken its toll.
     "It was starting to crack and fall apart," said Myron Lawler.
     With a $2,000 grant from the Community Foundation of Franklin County, along with about $800 in additional donations, the cemetery board has patched up and refurbished the war memorial. Working when time permitted, the restoration process took about a week.
