THE EAGLE STATUE
Dedicated February 4, 2011

Lone Oak Cemetery has some new  eagles to compete with the ones that fly the skies.

The Benefactors of The Eagles
Chainsaw Artist Keith Carroll created the two carefully crafted 
eagles that now grace the entrance to Lone Oak Cemetery.  
 
    In 2010, the tree next to the cemetery office was cut, and a  tall 
stump was left standing.  Awhile later Keith Carroll was passing 
by and noticed  the stump.  He was a talented craftsman who shaped 
wood into many creatures.  The Board of Lone Oak Cemetery  discussed his proposal, but due to budget constraints, decided not to do this project.   
 
    A longstanding board member (Gordon Dorris)

thought it was a worthy project and, after discussing with his wife (Peggy Dorris) , chose to underwrite the project.  And soon, it came to fruition.
