Inscription.
In 1969, under the guidance of Dr. Charles W. Mackenbach, then president of the St. Marys Area Chamber of Commerce permission was granted from the American Legion post to re-beautify Memorial Park.

Through the generous contributions of the citizens of St. Marys, $7,000.00 was raised.

Markers to identify the trees, native to this area were placed. The Manbeck Nursery was awarded the contract to do the re-beautification.

Much credit for this project must be given to Miss K.C. Geiger, editor of the Evening Leader, for the papers generous support.

A grant has been made available by the Mackenbach Family, to perpetuate the plantings & beautification of Memorial Park.
