Eagle Court of Honor is Saturday at Chilton Baptist
His Eagle Court of Honor will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, May 3, at Chilton Baptist Church with a reception following. As a requirement for the last step of his Eagle Scout program Ethan literally transformed the historic Bell-Brewer Cemetery off Highway 154 in the New Prospect community from an overgrown patch filled with weeds, brush, downed trees, limbs and debris into a comforting, restful place. He finished the last badge requirement by personally conducting a memorial service for three of the four Confederate soldiers at Bell-Brewer and dedicated a CSA headstone for Captain John Bell of the 32nd Alabama. The Clarke County Camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) assisted in acquiring headstones from the Veterans Administration for Captain Bell and John W. Brewer of the 3rd Alabama. The other two soldiers buried there are Simeon M. Coates and Henry Hawthorne Smith of the 6th Alabama.
Ethan and Boy Scout Troop 76 invite the community to attend his Eagle Court of Honor on May 3.
