Fannin County, Texas -- The Woodman Cemetery (previously known as the Old Grogan Cemetery) in Ravenna was established in 1870 and over 140 local people are buried there.

Although it was cleaned up several times in the past, it has been left unattended for years and was overgrown with tall weeds, trees and brush.

On November 1, a crew from First Baptist Church in Bonham took on the task of cleaning and restoring the old cemetery and the change is remarkable.
