The fire hydrant grave marker of Chief Ben Mincey was badly peeling and rusting.

A benefactor who wishes to remain anonymous recently gave it a good cleaning and a fresh coat of high-quality paint in appropriate colors. Thank you!

(If you don’t think we’ve made much progress at Odd Fellows Cemetery, see the photo I took of the hydrant in December 2020.)
