Iona Spencer and Elsie Middleton will be sharing the stories they have collected during their research of Lecompton-area burials on a wagon tour of the cemeteries in and around Stull as part of the 150th anniversary celebration for Stull United Methodist Church.

“We ran into marvelous stories,” Middleton said of the research. “I got into it really just out of respect for the heritage for what I call home, and respect for the people that settled here and went through all the hardships to make it what it is today.”

The wagon tours will take place at 9:45 a.m. and 11 a.m. Saturday.

The anniversary celebration will take place Friday through Sunday at Stull United Methodist Church, 1596 E. 250 Road, Lecompton.
