News : Dead Men and Women Talking

The Center Point Historical Society's annual Cemetery Walk took place on September 18 at the Center Point Cemetery. 

Among this year's five subjects who "talked" were a WWII Navy veteran, Raymond Durow, who survived the sinking of his ship by the Japanese; a 19th Century farm wife, Rebecah Leonard Gilchrist, who didn't survive a danger much closer to home; and John Osborne, a teenage soldier who survived the Revolutionary War.

Costumed portrayers included left to right, Sammy McClure, CPU freshman; John Stuelke, CP city council and Historical Society member; David Wendell, Marion historian; Dr. Philip  Andersen, retired CP dentist and Historical Society president, Dr. DeEtta Andersen CPU science teacher; and Jon Brendel, CP military history buff.
