Honoring the Pioneers -- Part 4
As you can see, the service to honor the pioneers attracted a number of people. If you look at the table on the right side, you'll see the wooden boxes, now closed and ready for reburial.
In addition to the memorial service and burial, the afternoon's events included the unveiling of the commemorative sign provided by the Platte County Historical Society and the Daughters of the American Revolution. (That's a DAR member in historic costume.)
While some people might have covered the sign with a tarp, not so the PCHS and the DAR. If you look at the bottom of the sign, you'll see that they used a quilt. How fitting!
And so, with much fanfare including speeches and music, three pioneers were returned to their original burial site, and a new historical marker was unveiled. The pioneers were indeed honored.
