A Tribute to Valor: Historic Grave Marking Dedication, October 13, 2:00 pm Oak Grove Cemetery, Manchester

We invite you to nearby Manchester to pay tribute to the remarkable courage of Dr. Eleazer Root, a distinguished veteran of the American Revolutionary War. After serving his country, Dr. Root dedicated 48 years to the practice of medicine before embarking on a new journey to Manchester, Michigan while it was still a territory. This special ceremony will feature performances by local musicians, a color guard presentation and speeches from distinguished guests. If you are a descendant of Dr. Root, we would be honored to hear from you and include your family in this historic commemoration.
