One alderman walked out of a board meeting after Stacey Trotter was removed as sexton of Glenwood Cemetery.
Ward 1 Alderman Charles “Mickey” O’Reilly left the Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting after a motion was made to place Prentiss Young as temporary sexton.
The condition of the cemetery has drawn numerous complaints in recent weeks.
Free state inmate labor had been pulled from the cemetery over a year ago because Trotter was involved with an investigation with the Mississippi Department of Corrections for inappropriate behavior with prisoners.

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
