Earlier today while doing some maintenance in the parking area of the cemetery a partial stone was uncovered. It is probable the stone was that of Ronald McDonald age 48 of Yankee Grant who died of consumption in July of 1870!

A tree has been encroaching on the drive and parking of the approach to the cemetery. It was there and now its gone!! Job well done by tree cutters; also thanks to Rob Kell for disposing of the stump, entrails and providing a load of fill to level all out.

Last minute work in preparation for Sunday's Celtic Concert with the Stones. Bicentennial oak tree planted to commemorate 200 years since the establishment of the Pioneer Cemetery. Translation completed on the base of Celtic Cross. Brochures printed and folded. Reminder that our back up location is the John Paul Centre, but fingers crossed the rain holds off.
