Memorial Bricks Available at Mount Adnah Cemetery

FULTON – In 2009, the Mount Adnah Preservation Foundation, Inc., established the Memorial Brick Walkway at the site of the former Case Memorial Chapel in Mount Adnah Cemetery, on East Broadway, in Fulton.

There are now 287 inscribed memorial bricks in the walkway.

The public can purchase memorial bricks for installation in this walkway in memory of any person, whether buried at Mount Adnah or elsewhere.

The bricks may contain a maximum of 18 characters and spaces on each of three lines.

Brick order must be received by May 20 to ensure installation by Memorial Day.

Orders received after this date will be installed prior to Veterans’ Day 2018.

Brick order forms are available from the Mount Adnah Preservation Foundation at the address below, or at Foster Funeral Home, Sugar Funeral Home and the Mount Adnah Cemetery office.

Checks payable to Mount Adnah Preservation Foundation should be mailed with order forms to the foundation at P.O. Box 715, Fulton, New York 13069.

A wayside sign can be seen at the site of the former Case Memorial Chapel, describing the chapel, its history and containing a picture of the chapel.

Visitors to the Memorial Walkway will find this sign an aid to their understanding of this memorial site.

Memorial donations given in memory of the late Dawn Rodgers Rowlee, a deceased former member of the board of directors of the Mount Adnah Preservation Foundation, were used to create the walkway.

She was instrumental in creating the memorial garden at the site of the historic Case Memorial Chapel, which was demolished several years ago.

The walkway commences at the steps to the former chapel and ends at the memorial bench at the rear of the site.

Mount Adnah Preservation Foundation directors have been attending to the plantings in the garden and this has become a lovely area of remembrance and reflection.

The public is urged to visit this area when at the cemetery.

The Mount Adnah Preservation Foundation will continue the sale of memorial bricks until all the bricks in the walkway have been inscribed.

Donations for the upkeep of the memorial garden can also be made to the foundation.

Those seeking more information may contact Brian Guyer, committee chairperson, at 315-592-2523 or by e-mail to [email protected].
