The Mark Cearfoss Memorial Project

Thanks to all who contributed funding!

Mark Cearfoss at Collins-Loyd Cemetery
Mark Cearfoss at Collins-Loyd Cemetery
River Line Historic Area President, Treasurer and Cemeteries Manager
A dedicated volunteer committed to preserving historic & natural resources within the Historic Area from 2015 until his unexpected passing on February 10, 2021.
Mark was a man of many talents indicated by his organizational titles.  He was a handyman with tools ranging from a chain saw to a paint brush that transitioned overgrown abandoned cemeteries to places of beauty.  After restoration of metal piping around a family plot at the Hooper-McWilliams Cemetery in 2019, Mark began his next project pictured on the left at the Loyd-Collins Cemetery; restoration of a decorative metal family plot fence gate.
The River Line Historic Area and Mark's widow, Diane, earmarked Mark's Memorial donations for the Collins-Loyd family plot's fence gate restoration (see photo).  The project is delayed due to related matters involving the attached deteriorated fence condition, the dislodged boxed tombs inside the fence, and cemetery property ownership change.  The gate was a trigger to a much larger project than anticipated, so we are gathering estimates for all components, anticipating the project could easily fall into year 2022.
