From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for August 12, 1989:

Members of Holy Family Catholic Church in Eudora were reacting with grief and astonishment to a recent vandalism spree that had caused more than $15,000 damage to a small cemetery near the church. Two local men had been arrested and a juvenile male detained in connection with the incident, in which vandals had toppled a large tombstone, broken crosses off several stones and painted what authorities believed to be satanic messages on another. “What is it that (makes) young people today do this kind of thing?” queries church member and Eudora resident Helen Studinski today. “What thrill or what kick do they get out of this?” Studinski and her friend Bernice Born said the messages were upsetting to them. “I really think they (vandals) are sick,” Born said. Another church member, Helen Sommer, said the most upsetting aspect for her was that the incident set back about two years of work by a church committee to beautify and improve the cemetery.
