Volunteers trimmed trees and hauled out truckloads of brush from the Mansfield Cemetery and Mansfield Community Cemetery during a Saturday morning cleanup.

Volunteers gathered Saturday morning to trim trees and bushes and clean up the Mansfield Cemetery and adjacent Mansfield Community Cemetery.

Workers spread out across the two cemeteries, picking up branches, dead flowers and trash, then concentrated on an overgrown area of trees and brush along the dividing line between the two historic landmarks on Cemetery Road, just off FM 917.
