The townspeople and cleanup volunteers in Pierce City, Mo. paused from their work to pay tribute to the one person who died as a result of the tornado that destroyed their small town last Sunday evening. Dale Taunton, 51, was laid to rest Thursday morning in the town cemetery. Seventy cars followed the hearse to the burial site. All of the buildings in the historic old downtown area were destroyed by the tornado and will be torn down. Taunton died while trying to help others take cover at the National Guard Armory. Taunton was a long time member of the National Guard.
