Metro Pioneer Cemetery One Stone
At A Time Project; Williams elected to
Bereavement Board
up of the project. After a
bid process was complete,
Metro decided that a com-
pany called
Donovan and
Associates
,
established
in 1987 to provide a vari-
ety of historic preservation
consulting services for both
public and private sectors,
was the best company for
the job, and hired them to
begin the
One Stone At A
Time Project
. Donovan and
Associates have been pres-
ent in the cemetery start-
ing in and around Block
1, the oldest section of the
cemetery with burials dat-
ing back to 1846, near the
namesake Lone Fir. There
has been positive cover-
age from local news and
positive feedback from the
community who are happy
to see the cemetery’s pro-
prietor putting funds raised
from other events back into
the cemetery.

Stone repair and restoration at Lone Fir Cemetery
PORTLAND,OR—
Metro Cemetery Pro-
gram and Friends of Lone Fir Cemetery
(FLFC) recently embarked on a project to
survey
Lone Fir Cemetery
for stones in
need of preventative repair and restoration.
The results were overwhelming at first. The
sheer number of loose stones and the cost
of the work were daunting to say the least.
Lone Fir Cemetery, established in 1855, is
a property owned by Metro, the regional
government of Portland. The staff at Met-
ro came up with the idea of creating a joint
venture with FLFC, including a matching
funds program to help facilitate the start-
