The folks in the Dade County Historical Society have been very busy printing pictures and getting ready for the Cemetery Walk on May 18. Those attending need to park at the Piney Grove Baptist Church where a bus will transport you to the Brock Cemetery. It starts at 4 p.m., and buses will leave the parking lot at 3:50, 4:50 and 5:50 p.m. Please arrive by half past the hour.
There will be four actors portraying four of the historical figures buried there, and there will also be posters with pictures and information about some of the other interesting people buried there. Many of them were real movers and shakers in the earlier days of Dade County. For more information, pick up a flyer at the library. Those
to be portrayed are author George Washington Harris, Dr. James Russell Brock, Colonel Douglas Morrison and his wife, Catherine Clarke Morrison.
