The ceremony will take place at the Winn Family Cemetery located in a field just cross the road from the Henke residence at 37724 Switzer Mill Road, Salisbury, MO.
The stone to be placed will mark the grave of John David Winn and his wife, Eleanor (Hicks) Winn. Other graves in the small cemetery include that of their son, who is a War of 1812 veteran.
The ceremony will begin at 10:00 am on 4 JULY 2015. What better way to celebrate Independence Day than by honoring one of the men who made that Independence possible!
