My sister said he is buried in Carthage. So cool to honor his memory with such a nice place. And such a great thing to invest in for Carthage.

Oh that’s interesting! I hadn’t thought about the possibility of him being buried in Carthage, but it would make sense! Thanks for mentioning that (and for reading and responding)! And I could not agree with you more! Such a great investment in the community!

Such an awesome article! I’m not sure why but I definitely teared up reading this for some reason. As much as we all wanted to get away from Carthage, it pulled me and my family back in. Yes some things have changed but I love our little town and some of the greatest people I know still live there. Thank you so much again for writing this - Carthage is lucky to have you

As someone who grew up in a small town in Iowa, I absolutely loved this article. Especially this: “There’s a line forming! A line! In Carthage!”)”

Awesome job, Alison!
