A long-lost plaque unearthed in a recent excavation has shed light on a former Cody resident. The Cody Enterprise reports a chunk of concrete with William “Dad” Edwards’ name on it was unearthed with little other information, except that he had provided a gift to the city in 1931. After some research, it was found that Dad had left money in his will “for the beautification of Cody’s city park.” A small bandstand was constructed with it, but the plaque was discarded after a new one was built years later. The plaque will be cleaned up and displayed at the City Shop in Dad’s memory.
