Oil City residents who encountered unusual circumstances in their lives, along with soldiers and businessmen, are among those remembered this year during the Heritage Society of Oil City’s annual visit to the Grove Hill Cemetery.
The tour, scheduled for September 10, will highlight “a mixture of interesting stories and very sad ones,” said Margo Mong, a local historian who is organizing the tour with Kay Dawson and other members of the Heritage Society.
