As many of you probably know in October,
2014, I engaged is some back breaking work repairing and
resetting the tombstones of Gillam Harris and David D. Dickey
they have been featured in a previous Reader’s Interest story.
Well upon my return to Arrington Prairie/Dickeyville
Cemetery I was pleasantly shocked to see that every tombstone in
the old section of the cemetery has been releveled, repaired and
in some instances entire new pads poured for some stones. While photographing some tombstones I had
a chance encounter with Shannon Withrow’s wife and mother- in-
law who informed me that an anonymous donor had contributed the
money to facilitate all the work that has been done.
For all of us with family buried in the cemetery we want
to extend a warm and grateful thanks to our silent benefactor
and to those completing this large project. |
