The Trail of Memories, in conjunction with the Bates County Community Health Foundation, is a nonprofit organization founded in memory of Debra Bledsoe to help local citizens honor their lost loved ones in a profound way. The walking trail, located near the aquatic center in the Butler City Park and the new expansion located on the grounds of the Bates County Memorial Hospital, is lined with trees and benches designated in memory of relatives and friends that have gone before us.
Applications are available at the Bank of America, 609 West Fort Scott St. Butler, Mo and the administration office of the Bates County Memorial Hospital, 615 West Nursery St, Butler, Mo. Applications must be received by June 1, 2012.
