DEDICATION DAY

COUNTY -- “Ordinary people working together can do extra-ordinary things,” is Ron Chamberlain’s, member of Western Iowa Pioneer Cemetery Association (WIPCA), favorite saying.
    WIPCA attempts to do extra-ordinary things while restoring multiple cemeteries and hidden grave sites, especially in Shelby County.
    WIPCA celebrated John McIntosh Day with approximately 55 community members during the unveiling of new grave stones they replaced for the McIntosh family at the Gallands Grove-RLDS Holcomb Cemetery on Sunday, June 26.
    “This is the third time we had a ground penetrating unit. It costs $3,000 a day to have the Mormons from Salt Lake City pay for it,” Chamberlain said. “If we don’t follow up and put tombstones in where they find burials, then why are they doing it?”
