Summary
Bailiff Robert Green announced a new local chapter to raise funds for wreaths for veterans' graves at Elmwood Cemetery: 860 veteran graves are listed and the first-year goal is 450 wreaths at $17 each.
Bailiff Robert Green told the board that locals have started a Crawford County chapter of Wreaths Across America to place wreaths on veterans’ graves at Elmwood Cemetery. He said Elmwood contains 860 veteran graves and the chapter’s first‑year fundraising goal is to purchase 450 wreaths at a cost of $17 apiece.
