This month’s Positively JAX award goes to a group that’s been doing the work since 1956. The West Augustine Improvement Association was founded by local teacher Nellie Meade to make sure that cemeteries in that area were maintained.

“If I want to describe how it really looked before you actually came in, before we actually started. You could have rolled by, you couldn’t even tell that it’s a cemetery,” said Willie Cooper Sr. said, the current West Augustine Improvement Association president. The sisters later died and were buried beside their family. There are hundreds of graves in the cemetery, some with shattered placards where you can barely make out the name of the person who died. This project will honor the dead and the families who now at least have a place to find peace and closure.
