Note- NOT my sites!

Yvonne Moen, Local Terrace Historian, gave a tour of the cemetery May 9, 2014.
Yvonne, and Friends of the Cemetery (see below), have collected stories of these pioneers.
They have printed a handout on the cemetery, and are asking for more information.

My hat goes off to Yvonne for her research in local history.
She deserves all the credit she gets.
