The Kirkland Armour Memorial Chapel, on the grounds inside Elmwood Cemetery Society, is set to receive some much-needed improvements. On Friday, April 19th, members from the Elmwood Society board took sledgehammers in hand during a “groundbreaking” ceremony to mark the removal of an addition, which will be replaced by a new, more compatible addition that will provide ADA restrooms for chapel events.

Funding for the project is being provided by Prince Charitable Trusts, along with local donations, and the contractor selected is ReTouch. The addition is expected to be completed by Labor Day. The historic chapel was completed in 1902.
A graduate of Central Missouri State University, Dorri’s first foray into journalism began at Maple Woods Community College. Her love for old homes brought her to Historic Northeast in 1986. Immersed in the community, she developed a love for its parks, with Indian Mound and Cliff Drive holding a special place in her heart.
Dorri’s journey with the Northeast News began in 1998, where she contributed a freelance feature column until 2006. In 2016, she officially joined the News staff, bringing her storytelling skills to the wider community.
Outside of her work at Northeast News, Dorri is a devoted mother to two sons and three kitty companions. An avid vintage collector, her collections include matchbooks and other incredible items that are quite familiar within our “Remember This” weekly feature.
