In keeping with the Pioneer Family Association’s last effort in restoring the stone monuments of the Brackett Cemetery. We are asking for donations for the restoration of the stones in the Trefethen Family Cemetery. Several of the stones are tipping and at least one has fallen over, and others are close to falling. This cemetery is the resting place of Jessie B Trefethen as well as other Trefethen and Parks, loved and missed, family members.

The work to be done and the fees from Richardson Monument Co, who did the Brackett Cemetery work, includes the following:

5 new foundations	$712.80
6 resealing monuments	$150.00
24 cleaning monuments	$720.00
Ferry fees to the island (for trucks)	$150.00
Total	$1732.80

We would like to have the work completed for the Pioneer Family Reunion in July of 2004. Kim MacIsaac has graciously agreed to be our collection agent and disperser of funds for this project, as she did for the Brackett project.

Please make checks payable to “Fifth Maine” Attn: Trefethen Cemetery Funds, and send to:

Fifth Maine Regiment Museum

PO Box 41

Peaks Island, ME 04108

Any donations received over the actual costs will remain in the PFA account for future projects. As the Fifth Maine is a nonprofit organization, all donations are fully tax deductible.

Thank You for your help in this important project.
