In Nelson County, bell tolls for 500,000 lives lost

MASSIES MILL — Hundreds of American flags dotted the front lawn of Grace Episcopal Church on Tuesday, a solemn reminder in Nelson County of a grisly milestone the nation reached just one day prior. As the COVID-19 death toll topped 500,000 lives and counting Monday, members of the Massies Mill-based church spent Tuesday planting 500 flags, each one representing 1,000 people, in the shape of a cross to honor those lives lost. Against the backdrop of the setting sun, roughly a dozen residents held a memorial service that began and ended with the sound of the church bell’s toll shortly after members finished planting the flags.
