A New Plaque at Monticello's Monument

Last week, descendants of Harvey Elmer replaced the dedication plaque on the monument at Lake Montesian in Monticello. The original plaque had become worn, and the Elmer family thought it was time to replace it.
Two of Elmer's daughters, Marianne Lederman and Jenny Elmer, along with other family members were on hand for an informational unveiling of the new plaque. A third daughter, Dawn Brager, could not be there.
Marianne said that when their father passed away all of the memorial money went to support the lake.
