Friends of LeDuc of Historic Hastings will meet at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 15, at the Estate, 1629 Vermillion Street, Hastings—a change from the regular Tuesday meeting time. A brief business meeting will be followed by a trip to Lakeside Cemetery for the dedication of the John Bateman footstone by Mayor Paul Hicks. Richard Darsow has researched the life of Bateman, early Hastings pioneer plowmaker, and has restored the Bateman plow which is on display at the LeDuc Carriage barn. Bateman died 130 years ago, and none of his heirs marked his grave with a footstone. Friends of LeDuc of Historic Hastings have identified his gravesite and have made contributions for the footstone so Bateman’s name will be remembered. The meeting is free and open to the public. The LeDuc Historic Estate is owned by the City of Hastings and managed by Dakota County Historical Society. For details, visit www.dakotahistory.org.
