Description:
Florence and Lee Servies lived all of their married life in southern Montgomery County. Florence taught business for 32 years – primarily at Crawfordsville High School, but also at New Market and Waveland. Lee was a farmer who served his country during World War II. He served on the New Market School Board from 1966-1972. Lee and Florence cared deeply about the young people of our community.
