Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
NORTH WEBSTER - The North Webster Community Public Library announced that plans are underway for the return of its Cemetery Walk this fall – and the library is inviting the community to help shape this year’s event.
The Cemetery Walk brings local history to life as community members portray individuals laid to rest in the North Webster Cemetery, sharing their stories through engaging, first-person presentations, according to a news release from the library. Organizers are currently seeking recommendations for individuals to feature in the 2026 program.
If you know someone buried in the North Webster Cemetery whom you would like to see portrayed, the library encourages you to submit a short essay between 100 and 200 words explaining why you feel this individual should be selected. Include your name and contact information so library staff can notify you if your nominee is chosen.
New this year, the library will also select one individual buried in the Mock Cemetery to be portrayed as part of the event, expanding the reach of stories shared during the walk.
Essays must be submitted by 5 p.m. on Thursday, April 30. Submissions may be emailed to Amanda Demster at amanda@nwcpl.org or mailed to:

Community participation has always been an important part of the Cemetery Walk’s success, and the library looks forward to once again honoring the people and stories that helped shape North Webster’s history, the release states.
