A few years ago, the lights were replaced, and more fragments were discovered. These were brought to Forest Mound, now the only cemetery in operation in the city. "I would be inclined to think the whole park was a cemetery," said Buchholz, although he wouldn't speculate why it was turned into a park.

"When Forest Mound opened in 1862, some of the caskets and headstones from Old Waupun Cemetery (Wilcox Park) were moved there." Ironically, West End Park, located on Beaver Dam Street, was also a cemetery before it was turned into a park. Buchholz had no other information on that cemetery. Nancy E.

until the time of service at the church. Murray Community Funeral Home, Beaver Dam, is serving the family. "A lot of times, people who become involved in domestic abuse do not have prior records," Fitzgerald said. "That's the part that's very difficult to pinpoint many times." The committee, he said, also has a responsibility, as professionals in the community, to help abusers so they can become productive and keep the family structure intact. Virginia Seaholm, a group facilitator with the Abusers Treatment Group of Dodge County, sponsored by Lutheran Social Services and PAVE, said she's a firm believer in groups for men who abuse.

"You can do marriage counseling and individual counseling until the cows come home and nothing comes of it," Seaholm said. "Men don't talk to each other a lot about feelings and what's going on in their lives. But when men get together in a group, they're forced to talk and answer questions." She said it's OK for them to say, "'I'm out of control I've beaten my girlfriend where do I go to get Often, LSS gets referrals from lawyers and attorneys, by deferred prosecution, a judge order, or voluntarily, she noted.

The group also is considering the feasibility of utilizing individuals who have successfully overcome the need to abuse as supportcontact people. THERE IS ALSO an effort to establish elderly crisis beds, and a need for volunteers to work with the elderly in handling abuse from their families. The committee is composed of representatives of institutions and agencies who are, or could be responsible for responding to victims of domestic abuse.

The group will meet at least four times per year. The chairpersons will chair the meetings and make recommendations for agendas which Utterback will put together. Fitzgerald said the committee is a step in the right direction toward acknowledging and dealing with the problem of abuse. "I can remember when we didn't have the awareness and swept these things under the carpet," the sheriff said. "The public didn't want to, or wouldn't get involved.

Dodge County is fortunate to have some people who started PAVE." Unlike before when there were no resources for battered women and children, now PAVE is available to "put a roof over their head and steer them toward counseling and self-respect again," Fitzgerald said. "They're pretty down-trodden." Domestic abuse, as a rule, is not caused by persons with criminal backgrounds, he said. Edgar W. Mayer Edgar W. Mayer, 91, formerly of Mil- theran Church.
