The grave of Col. James Curry, shown above at Oakdale Cemetery, marks the final resting place of one of Union County’s founders and a Revolutionary War veteran. Originally buried on his Jerome Township farm after his death in 1834, Curry and his wife were reinterred at Oakdale Cemetery in 1883, where the monument stands as one of the county’s most significant links to the American Revolution.

Pictured above, at right, is Hunter Horsley, the winner of North Lewisburg’s Bicentennial Commemorative Postmark competition. Triad students were asked to submit designs which where then judged by the Bicentennial Committee members. The commemorative postmark will be available during Labor Day weekend celebrations, with a postmaster stationed at North Lewisburg Community Park to officially stamp items brought by residents and visitors. While there is only one overall winner, Horsley’s entry and three other finalists’ designs will be used in promotional materials in the coming months. Each student received a framed banner featuring their design along with a thank-you and monetary award from the village. Pictured with Horsley are, from left, Addison Kielman, Kaitlyn Herron and Serenity Vinson. (Journal-Tribune photo by Chad Williamson)
