Thanks to the generosity of the Lavaca County Historical Commission last year, we were able to continue our program of repairing monuments. We had selected the possible candidates and met with Mr. Joe Solansky of Capitol Monument to discuss them. Repair of all of them was too expensive so we selected five that would fit into our budget. They were a Bennett monument, three Dyer monuments, and one for McCord, Jno.

Mr. Solansky had a shake-up in his company and in the confusion all nine monuments that we had discussed were repaired. Because our dudget would not stretch enough to pay for all nine in 2007, we reached an agreement with Capitol Monument to pay the balance in 2008. As a result the following monumnets were also repaired – Rathke, Harrison, Tate, and Morgan. Needless to say, we will not be selecting new ones for this year. In fact future repairs will be almost impossible unless family members pitch in. That is the only way that we can continue the program. We ask that you give a much as you can or as much as you think our efforts are worth.
