The play version of Edgar Lee Masters' "Spoon River Anthology" features the characters telling their stories from the graveyard, after death.
So it seems appropriate to use the play as a fundraiser for a graveyard.
And that's just what's happening, as the Friends of Jacksonville's Historic Cemetery mount a production of "Spoon River" to bring in money for cemetery upkeep.
David Gordon provides musical accompaniment for the play. He visits with period-appropriate songs ready to play.
