HARVEY COUNTY – After many years of planning, the Harvey County memorial for deceased homeless and indigent individuals was completed this week, as described on social media by the sheriff’s office.

This memorial’s setting is located on the Osage Trail in a very peaceful and serene area.

The location will be the final resting place to those whose ashes were left unclaimed and simply stored in the Sheriff’s record room.

The sheriff’s office indicate they shall respectfully scatter those ashes in the area of this memorial.

The sheriff’s office thanked the Community Chaplain Response Team, Harvey County Parks Department, Harvey County Commissioners, All Natural Stone, Enduring Love Memorials and the Showalter Foundation. This project was accomplished without using tax payer dollars and with the dedication to do what was right, according to Sheriff Townsend Walton.
