Joe GROSS was master of ceremonies, Legion chaplain Bob ERICKSON gave the prayers, wreaths were laid by Marilyn SCHLAPIA and Myrtle REPP, a Legion rifle squad fired a salute and music was provided by the MACHS band. A special part of the services was dedication of a new sign for the cemetery, built by the Sunshine Workers 4-H Club.
