Events and Activities : CENTER POINT CEMETERY WALK ON SUNDAY SEPT. 18

The Center Point Historical Society's annual Cemetery Walk will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. on Sunday, September 18, at the Center Point Cemetery.

Costumed portrayers will include a Marion historian, a high school freshman playing her great-great-great-great aunt, and old hands actors in the 11-year-old fundraising event.

Cemetery Walk admission is $5. In case of rain, it will be held in the Depot Museum with slides of the gravesites.

Among this year's five subjects are a WWII Navy veteran, Raymond Durow, who survived the sinking of his ship by the Japanese; a 19th Century farm wife, Rebecah Leonard Gilchrist, who didn't survive a danger much closer to home; and John Osborne, a teenage soldier who survived the Revolutionary War.

Guests are invited to bring a light lawn chair.

Questions: 319-721-6948.
