DAR holds tree dedication


From Sun Journal: DAR holds tree dedication
Daughters of the American Revolution dedicated a balsam fir Tuesday that was planted on the grounds of the Franklin County Courthouse in Farmington. Donated by Dutton's Nursery of Morrill, the tree replaces a spruce planted by DAR members in 1938 in honor of the 100th anniversary of Franklin County that died. From left are DAR members Nancy Flick, Joanne Page, Connie Hiltz, Joan Patterson, Chapter Regent Marcia White, Theo Ross, Ann Ladd, Wilma Rector and Belle Foss. Not pictured but present were Melanie Farmer and Julia Nouvertne. The tree stands behind the women who want to put up a marker near the tree. A plaque honoring the original tree hangs inside the courthouse.
