MEMORIAL DAY 2009
May we never forget...
Living History at the Mansfield Cemetery was an informative new feature of the local Memorial Day holiday celebration. The grave sites of 33 historically, prominent citizens were the scene of sketches of their lives done by local Portrayers and Guides.
More than 500 folks were led in small groups around the cemetery where they were treated to brief tales in first-person narrative of their contributions to our younger nation.
Laurel Tope told the story of Mrs. US Senator John (Cecelia) Sherman. When not otherwise engaged, Laurel (top) is a Sherman Room, reference librarian at the Mansfield-Richland County Public Library.
