Memorial day in Oak Springs - 1996 - Fifteen Years Ago



Memorial day in Oak Springs - 1996
Fifteen Years Ago


Each year, for Memorial Day, in recent years, the Bevins bunch take turns being sure that flowers from The Homeplace garden are taken to and are properly arranged at the graves of Frank and Mildred Bevins, Jason Winslow, and Donnie Bevins. They also place a flower at each of the McDonald and Bevins grandparents and great-grandparents graves, as well.

The High School band and the local American Legion Post conduct a ceremony each Memorial Day Monday morning to remember those we have lost.
