New flagpole sparks interest in rural cemetery
By PHIL MONSON
When Jayden Erie moved up in the scouting ranks in his local Boy Scout Troop 108, it didn’t take him long to find a community service Eagle Scout project.
In less than six months it has all become a reality after the recent installation of a new flagpole at the Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church cemetery in Corinth Township, southwest of Humboldt.
“When I ranked up in scouts, scout leaders Gerald Davis and Sandy Collins were pushing me to think about what I would do for an Eagle Scout project. We asked Pastor Katie Russell if she had any ideas and she came back with the idea of re-doing the flagpole out at the church cemetery southwest of town,” Erie said.
“The troop leaders and the scout council approved of it. Then I began the planning and paperwork to get started. I started attending meetings at the church to get approval,” Erie said.
