A Big Thank you to Elm River Credit Union for donating $5,000.00 to the Walcott Veteran's Memorial Fundraising Campaign. Pictured from Left to Right are Randy Cramer, Chair of the Board of Directors for Elm River Credit Union, Cheryl Anderson and Darlan Fatland, representing the Walcott Cemetery and Veteran's Memorial Committee, and Elm River CEO Erin Olstad. Elm River Credit Union is merging with First Community Credit Union but not before awarding nearly $500,000 in charitable donations to area community organizations. The Walcott Fire Department and Walcott Park Board were also recipients of $10,000 and $5,000, respectively. On behalf of the Walcott Community, we are excited and immensely grateful to the Elm River Credit and the people who made this possible!
Founded in the early 1880s, the Walcott Cemetery is dedicated to serving families of all faiths. In 2021 a committee was formed with several goals in mind:
Upgrading the grounds by planting new trees, stabilizing cemetery brick pillars, and enhancing entrance structures.
Repairing neglected and abandoned graveststones.
Increasing the Perpetual Care dollars.
Erecting a Veterans' Memorial to honor the more than 50 veterans buried within the grounds.
Establishing a web presence to provide cemetery information and a resource for ancestry research.
