They were once owners of land, beholders of beauty, famous gun ringers, loving family members, and burdened veterans of war. Concordia Cemetery, the land that once gave birth to crops now lays burdened with the segregation of death, where even then people were all divided by their race, credentials, ethnicity and even gender. Gunfighters were caged underneath their tombstones where people were sure that they wouldn’t rise again.

Projects like the Shearer Cemetery Restoration are beneficial to the community and the students who engaged in the project in several ways. It allows students and residents of the community to acquire community service hours, which some schools make a requirement to graduate. It restores historical parts of the community, that are in disrepair.
