Dear Fellow Researchers: 1. Terrace Lawn Cemetery is a large 91 years old cemetery near the centre of North Bay, Ontario. 2. The cemetery is slowly but surely deteriorating, mainly because the plots have been all sold and the maintenance of the cemetery is relying mainly on the interest from the Perpetual Care Trust Fund. Most of you likely know with the reduced interest rates over the past 10 years or so....the interest on these funds is also reduced and one does not need to be a banker to paint a clear picture. 3. This message is for the information of all those folks who may be associated with and familiar with the inherent problems trying to effect proper care and maintenance of older cemeteries in their communities in Ontario and likely elsewhere. 4. The message is more specifically addressed to descendants of ancestors buried in Terrace Lawn Cemetery in North Bay and who are dispersed all over the world. Should you know a friend or family member who are descendants, please pass the message to them. 5. The message? Please check http://home.cogeco.ca/~terrace for details about the situation and how your help can really make a difference. Best regards.......Murray Pletsch Chairman Friends Of Terrace Lawn Committee North Bay, Ontario, Canada
