We Remember

This weekend we take time to remember family near and far...

This is the stone marker for the McAdam family.

They are buried in the Blooming Prairie Cemetery.

Hamilton, Thomas, Mathew, and Mary are all in a row each with a simple flat marker with their name, dates and relationship.

Memorial Day traditions remain strong in this small town.  As per The Post Bulletin, "The Blooming Prairie American Legion and VFW posts will serve coffee and cookies at 9 a.m. Monday at the Servicemen's Club. A parade will follow at 10:30 a.m. at Prairie Manor Care Center and will proceed along 3rd Street to Center Avenue to Main Street and east to First Ave. S.E. to 3rd street S.E., east to Highway 28, then south to the cemetery. The ceremony at the cemetery will begin at 11 a.m. and there will be a potluck at the Servicemen's Club afterward. 

Also in the cemetery are Albert Ingvalson and Agnes McAdam Ingvalson.

Other member of the McAdam family including Tom and Rob are buried in the St. Columbanus Catholic Cemetery.
