Serving Southern Jefferson County in the Great State of Montana

LeProwse honored for flag work

A Whitehall resident was honored Monday for her longtime dedication to local veterans.

Doris LeProwse was presented a certificate of appreciation for the countless hours of work she has done to repair American flags.

"She is the Betsy Ross of Whitehall. She has saved us hundreds of dollars in flags," Bill Carhuff said.

LeProwse, whose husband Fred was active member of the United States Navy for 22 years as a Seabee, does work for the veterans groups free of charge.

"I will do any thing to help veterans because I'm married to one," she said.

LeProwse added that many of her children and grandchildren have followed in the footsteps of Fred.
