VILLANOW - A garden has been planned in honor of two brothers who were killed while clearing brush at a home for troubled boys in Villanow. <br> <br> 62-year-old Larry Phelps and his 69-year-old brother Arvine were killed in July while doing volunteer work on the grounds of Mountain Top Boys Home in rural northwest Georgia. <br> <br> Boulders now mark the site where the men were killed. Soon they will serve as the gateway into the planned memorial garden. <br> <br> Members of the United Methodist Church in nearby Dalton hope to raise about ten thousand dollars for the memorial. <br> <br> It will include fountains, benches, a gazebo and crosses. <br> <br> Donnie Allen Hulett was charged in the slayings. He remains in the Walker County jail without bond. <br> <br> Police say Hulett robbed the brothers of 400 dollars and other personal items and stole Larry Phelps&#39; pickup truck.
