The Friends group met for their 3rd Annual Winter Dinner, February 3, 2013, to review where they are at presently in the restoration effort. Discussions included fundraising, Veterans Memorial, signage, Memorial Day Services (scheduled to be held Mon., May 27th), 2013 work parties, and other topics under review. They continue to seek volunteers. If interested, contact Muskalonge Representative Beverly Sterling-Affinati, email: beverlyk@twcny.rr.com.  Your time and assistance is appreciated.

We have made a list of those interred at Muskalonge Cemetery available on Find A Grave. Be sure to check it out: 

Placement of John H. Roacher, Jr. military headstone occurred in 2012. Roacher was the former cemetery caretaker.

2013: It is hard to believe the Friends of Muskalonge Cemetery are in their 3rd year of a five year plan to restore the damage which occurred at Muskalonge by vandals. As with each of the past three winters, the Friends group are making plans to come together for their annual dinner to review where they are at presently in the restoration effort. They continue to seek volunteers. If you would like to assist, or to find out more about scheduled work parties, contact Beverly at beverlyk@twcny.rr.com.

Fall Arrives at Muskalonge Cemetery.

For our third and final work party of 2012, there was much yet to do. We will include the photos in another post. We appreciate your continued support, and will continue work efforts in 2013, primarily, the placement of military headstones for those veterans whose stones are currently broken. Please check back in the spring for details. You may view those interred at this cemetery on Find A Grave, posted by our representative for your convenience. Thank you for your financial support! Your Friends at Muskalonge Cemetery!

Check out our Maple Syrup Fundraiser produced by W.E. Allen, Beaver Falls NY (also see our previous post).


USES: Great on blueberry pancakes. Use in place of table sugar as a sweetener (great for tea and coffee), pour some on oatmeal (along with walnuts and raisins), add to cooked sweet potatoes (with cinnamon), use as a glaze for ham (along with brown sugar), or spread over top of peanut butter and sliced bananas on whole wheat toast. Yum!

Regardless of how you enjoy this tasty treat, we hope you will purchase maple syrup be W.E. Allen to help support our Muskalonge Cemetery restoration effort. Call Warren directly: 315-486-3919.

Thank you, in advance!
