Montague County Cemetery Preservation Corporation - "Cemetery Board"

Created in 2007, the MCCPC's mission is to restore, maintain, and manage the abandoned and un-managed cemeteries of Montague County.  The governing board is appointed by the MCHC, which has oversight of this stand-alone Corporation.  The MCCPC meets on the third Wednesday on alternate months at 2:30pm (just before the regular MCHC meeting) at the Old Jail (January, March, May, July, September, November).  For more information, please contact Tommy Sappington, Chairman or Max Brown, Vice Chairman.
