Tyler Hess Earns Eagle Scout 

Tyler Hess, 18, of Apalachin, a member of Boy Scout Troop 60, received his Eagle Scout Award at a ceremony on May 31. For his Eagle Scout project, Tyler supervised about 45 volunteers in a survey of Riverside Cemetery on Marshland Road in Apalachin. The project included mapping the cemetery and recording the tombstones' transcriptions. Copies of the completed cemetery survey were given to the Tioga County Historical Society, the Riverside Cemetery Association, The Family History Center at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on Montrose Turnpike in Owego, and to the Apalachin Library. Tyler is a senior at Vestal Senior High School and in the fall plans to attend Brigham Young University in Utah. Tyler is the son of John and Laurie Hess of Apalachin (pictured above with Tyler), and the grandson of Frank and Jean Hess of Nichols.
