The Polk County Genealogical Society placed flowers on graves as a service and fundraiser. Many of those ordering the flowers live out of the area or are unable to visit the graves of their loved ones or ancestors. This year there were 47 orders and PCGS volunteers placed flowers in 10 different cemeteries. There were 12 volunteers who helped with this project. This is the third year that PCGS placed flowers on graves and they are happy to be able to provide this service, giving people a way to honor their loved ones. The society plans to continue the project next year.
The regular monthly meeting of the Polk County Genealogical Society will be held Thursday, May 2. Speaker for the evening will be Billy Marshall who will share information on the town of Orleans that was one of the first settlements in Polk County. The meeting, held at the PCGS Research Facility on the southeast corner of the square, will begin at 7:00 with a short business meeting and what has become a tradition – trivia questions!
