When the Farrows of Manteca lost a beloved member of their family, they turned to adoption.It was not a person or a pet that they adopted. It’s the pioneer East Union Cemetery at Louise Avenue and Union Road.If you happen to pass by the cemetery and see a woman watering the plants around the cemetery office or weed-eating around the grave sites, chances are that person is Paula Farrow Miller.And if you happen to stop by and visit this resting place of the area’s early pioneers and you notice the neat garden anchored by a water fountain at the west end of the covered patio next to the cemetery office, think of Paul Farrow and his daughter Judy Dallance. The steel railing that borders the patio area is also his handiwork.In case you notice the neatly painted benches with wooden slats along one end of the patio, thank the nonagenarian Paul Farrow for that one, too.Evelyn Prouty, the volunteer fixture at the cemetery and director of the Manteca Historical Society and Museum, said the Farrow family has, in a way, “adopted” the cemetery since Paul Farrow’s wife, Norma, passed away two years ago.
