 In Memory...

On October 27, 2006, the families of Billy J. Lyons and Laymon & Shirley Kiser planted trees in loving memory of their lives.  The trees were planted at the Wetlands Estonoa Learning Center and the representatives of this native Appalachian species are located along the shores of Estonoa.  Attending the event were Terry Vencil, Tripper Hilton, Dana Lyons, Butch Kiser, Rev. Mike Moore, Roy Hilton, Arlie Mae Hilton and Dean Vencil.  The families want to thank Zack Hicks and Christopher Vance for planting the trees.
