Burial stones laid at feet of unmarked graves

A community project has been laid to rest.

As previously reported in the Transcript, community members identified four unmarked graves in the New Rockford cemetery last October and embarked on a fundraising campaign to set things right by purchasing burial stones for the gentlemen.

Archie Jackson, Boyd Kennedy, Pat Malone and Alex Mathews are all buried in the New Rockford Cemetery, memorialized in the November 1, 2021 edition of the Transcript, and now have proper markers to identify their final resting places.
