1989:    “Tombstones for the Forgotten” Are Finished

HIRLEY BONER HONORED…..Shirley Boner was the guest at a lunch last Wednesday, Nov. 15th, 1989 at the Fire Station in Plattsburg. Awarding her the state MCB plaque are State Senator Pat Danner, center and Speaker of the House Bob Griffin.

Clinton Manor Nursing Home Administration and Staff became family and friends to the residents of the nursing home. Some residents have no known family or living relatives at the time of their death. A grave site and service is provided but the grave marker furnished is soon weathered and illegible. The Administration and staff of the home wanted their friends to be remembered with permanent head stones for the graves. A garage sale and bake sale was held at the American Legion Post in Plattsburg to help raise funds for the project. Commander of the Post, Mike Russell, took interest in the project and enlisted the help of others. Cam Collins, Plattsburg Lumber, donated materials and labor. Vance Vanderwerken, FFA sponsor; and FFA members provided labor to construct the name plaques for the stones. On May 23, 1989, ground was broke and the stone set by Mr. Collins, Mr. Russell and Ms. Boner. The residents/friends of Clinton Manor will be long remembered.
