The Coeburn Town Council passed a resolution honoring Hiram A Luke McConnell for achieving Eagle Scout Status. Luke, a member of Troop 301, performed a community service requirement by building a new cemetery sign for the Walker McCoy cemetery on Sandy Ridge, pouring and installing seven headstones for unmarked graves and resetting 2 headstones that
had sunk. Luke registered the cemetery and every grave in the cemetery on the internet so loved ones' graves may be located. Congratulations Luke, a job well done.
