Submitted by admin on Tue, 05/31/2022 - 13:43

The descendants of Basil Giard, one of the area’s first white settlers, last week visited the community named for their ancestor.

Visitors included (left to right) Jennifer Stone Grimes, Alison Stone and Pamela Stone Becke and their families. Their late mother, Andrea Giard Stone, was the last Giard.
