passed away June 22 at age 72. Funeral services are being held on June 24 in Canton.
According to an obituary, Mrs. Cagle was also heavily involved with the Cherokee County Historical Society from its inception in 1975 and twice served as its president. Albert and Bernese Cagle began farming in the late 1950s at Etowah Maid Dairies, which later became known as Cagle's Dairy. The Cagles eventually retired from the dairy farm business and started a vegetable venture. Find out more about Bernese Cagle's contributions to Georgia agriculture and historic preservation in a 2009 Georgia Magazine profile of Bernese and her husband Albert Cagle.

National Register news
The Dr. Luther C. and Lucy Hurt Fischer House, located at 4146 Chamblee Dunwoody Road, Atlanta, DeKalb County, was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on June 8, 2011 at the state level of significance. The grounds, known as Flowerland, are remembered by Atlantans for the extensive gardens that were maintained by the Fischers. Flowerland included roses, bulbs, azaleas, and a nursery complex, which does not survive. Between 1959 and 1971 the property was owned by the Roman Catholic Diocese and the Grey Nuns Order of the Sacred Heart. The Unity Church of Christianity owned the property from 1977 until 2005, when it was purchased by Stafford Properties. In 2005, Stafford Properties rehabilitated the Fischer House as the centerpiece of a residential complex of a dozen two-story apartment buildings. The interior of the Fischer house was divided into three condominiums with its principal interior spaces and characterdefining features intact. Stafford also preserved the carriage house and the surviving gardens on the wooded bluff above Nancy Creek. The rehabilitation of the property into condominiums was approved by the Historic Preservation Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources for the state preferential property tax assessment program.
