Whenever I have the occasion to spend time in Reliance, the schedule is always the same. There’s a visit to the Reliance Cemetery a bit north of Reliance, a drive around town, so to speak, and coffee at the home of Ruth Ann McManus. Oh, just for your information, I also check my personal plot at the cemetery because some day I hope to make that the final resting place. That is, of course, assuming that they accept me. Ruth Ann’s son, Donnie, told me he has attempted to bring it up for a vote on several occasions, only to result in a tabled motion. My knowledge of procedure in this type of vote is limited but brother Terry, who covered the state Legislature for 40 years said, “I shouldn’t speak for cemetery process but in Pierre, tabling a motion nine consecutive times is not a good sign of things to come.”
