Along Cobbs Creek are the remains of the city's movers and shakers. They were buried at Mount Moriah Cemetery decades ago when the grounds were carefully tended. Now the cemetery is abandoned and the city is leading an effort to place a nonprofit in charge. Anthony Waskie, a Temple professor and historian who helped found Friends of Mount Moriah, said, "It's a matter of will and how much effort and investment people are willing to make."
