Pentwater Cemetery holds 2nd Annual Fall Tour

The Pentwater Cemetery tours at the end of September were exceptionally productive and enjoyable, according to organizers. Their appreciation is extended to all who contributed to and participated in the second annual Pentwater Township Cemetery Fall Tour, with a special acknowledgement to: The Friends of Pentwater Township Cemetery; Lynnette Cavazos and Mo Murphy from Pentwater Township; and Michigan Dunes Chapter NSDAR for making the event possible. DAR of Michigan State Director Sarah Deming and Tifanni Dash also attended. There were 78 visitors. Fourteen local citizens were highlighted in the tour with presentations about their lives by talented individuals dressed up to represent each one.

The Friends of the Pentwater Township Cemetery and Michigan Dunes Chapter, NSDAR, are looking forward to their next event on Dec. 14, “Wreaths Across America.”  They will be laying wreaths on the graves of each of the veterans who are buried in the Pentwater cemetery. They hope the community will consider purchasing one or more wreaths for this event. Wreaths are being placed on the same day across the nation to remember and honor our veterans. If anyone needs more information, please contact Pentwater Township Hall or a member of Michigan Dunes DAR.
