The Clayton County Pioneer Cemetery Commission approved a draft sign for the McCleland grave site and discussed plans for a June 27 commemoration at Reed Cemetery.
Members reviewed a prior draft sign (24 inches by 20 inches) with a quoted price of $158.33. Paul Young moved to have the sign made using suggested wording additions if the landowner agrees to permit installation; David Beck seconded and the motion passed. Chair Lee Embretson will contact the landowner to request permission for sign installation.
On the June 27 event, David Beck said he would order a flag for the cemetery and additional flags for corners leading to the cemetery for a commemoration honoring veterans of the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.
The commission briefly mentioned pursuing a grant from the Upper Mississippi Gaming Commission but did not take action on that topic at the meeting.
