While visiting the Marion Town Cemetery on old Highway 71 between state Highway 82 and 26th Avenue near Mauston, Russell LaMarche, 65, noticed that the pole holding the American flag had snapped in half and the flag was torn and lying on the ground.
“I removed the flag for proper retirement,” LaMarche said. “It really aggravated me that veterans were buried there and no flag was flying in honor of all of those who served. There is a veteran named Rubin Rounds of the War of 1812, and Civil War veterans buried there.”
