Efforts to upgrade Mountain View Cemetery continued this week as crews worked to replace the existing fence surrounding this 13-acre area that serves as the final resting place for those who once lived here.

In addition to the damage it received as the result of cars crashing into it, other parts of the fence line sustained dents or collapsed after multiple trees fell on these areas.
