Cemetery Dedication


Cecil Hollifield, a former resident of Sipe's Orchard Home, has recently completed the restoration of an abandoned cemetery on the Sipe's property.

Located on the former site of St. Luke's Lutheran Church, the cemetery is the final resting place of Annie Stine Simmons and Michael Herman Simmons, the wives of two Confederate soldiers and brothers, Noah and Elijah Simmons.

The cemetery will be dedicated on May 27, 2012, at 1:30 p.m. Representatives from St. Luke's, the Simmons family, and Sipe's will be present.

Our Principles:
  • Life is to be lived now.

  • Trust between a child and adult is essential.

  • Competence makes a difference.

  • Intelligence can be taught, and children can learn skills to deal with the world around them.

  • Ceremonies and rituals give order, stability, and confidence to troubled children.

  • Feelings should be nurtured, expressed, understood, and explored with others that a child trusts.

  • Self control can be taught, and behavior can be managed.

  • Time is an ally.

  • The group is important.

  • Our physical self gives the psychological self its protection, self image, and value.

  • Experiences of community must be learned in a positive way.

  • A child should know some joy each day and look forward to other joyous events tomorrow.
