Beth Martell, of Makanda, hangs “Ancestor” by local artist Mary Anne Wildwood, Sunday for the “Day of the Dead” art exhibit in the first floor rotunda of Morris Library. “I just got an idea and couldn’t hold it in,” Martell said. Martell began organizing this exhibit after talking with first grade teacher Ruth Hoak, of Century Elementary in Ullin. Martell and her friends were concerned with the loss of the Monarch butterflies and decided to do what they could to raise awareness.Ian Mullen • Daily Egyptian
