News from Oak Hill

Before we again overwhelmyou with our list of projects,goals and accomplishments, letus explain the reasoning behindour frenetic activity. TheCemetery finds itself in a goodtime and place, where a fortu-itous combination of people andfinances have come together toenable the application of consid-erable resources towardsrenewing and enhancing ourgrounds. We are in a virtuouscircle, where maintenance notonly sustains this very lovely bur-ial ground, but improvementsshow that the cemetery is finan-cially healthy and prospectivebuyers know that we will do ourbest to preserve while movingforward. When the CemeteryBoard visited Mount AuburnCemetery last August, theirPresident David Barnettdescribed his first days, where heconsidered how best to ease thecemetery into retirement, andtransition into museum status.Indeed, we also had consideredsuch an action, but they and we

now find ourselves perhapsdecades away from such a time-line. Morale of employees, Boardmembers and lot holders isstrong. We thank you.

Outreach continues to be apriority, as many of our neighborsincorrectly continue to believe

that there is no opportunity forburial at Oak Hill. And so, wehave reconstituted our HistoricPreservation Foundation,researched fundraising cam-paigns, begun soliciting grants,increased operating hours, andhave begun reworking our web-site technology. We hope you willalso spread our message.

Liz Mizell has settled in asDirector of Development of theHistoric PreservationFoundation, and has begun theprocess of grant research andsolicitation. The FoundationBoard, Mimsey Lindner, JudyCochran, Rick Fisher, MarisaBourgoin, Darla Jackson, AndySeferlis and I, with the help ofDave Jackson, have met severaltimes to plan our outreach. Weare making good progress.

The website improvements,when complete, will enablerecordation of burial records in-house, improve reliability andsecurity, enable online contribu-tions and improve ourpresentation to the public and

Memorial Trees

From time to time, the Cemetery is asked tomemorialize someone, a family member or closefriend, who may or may not be interred at OakHill. The �Memorial Trees� provide a uniqueopportunity for Patrons to establish a lasting memo-rial and enhance the landscape. Patrons may selectthe site, the tree species (if there are multiplespecies designated) and the inscription for thestone monument. Trees and monuments will beinstalled each November. Commitments for treesshould be made by the end of September each year.Here is how it works:

We will plant trees in the Cemetery in the fallto replace some lost over the years. With the coun-

sel of Bartlett Trees,we are selecting sitesfor new trees, deter-mining the bestspecies suited foreach site. Each sitewill be evaluated asto its location, avail-able sunlight, and itseffect on the sur-rounds over the longterm. The majorityof the native trees inthe cemetery areWhite Oak and Poplar. Over the years many vari-eties were added but sometimes in their maturity,they became a problem due to root invasion orblocking sunlight. Our plan is that newly plantedtrees will enhance the Cemetery in the best possibleway for decades.

We will designate many of the �Memorial Tree�sites. These trees will be identified by a six-inchmonument at the base identifying an honoree. Themonument will be carved stone and will be movedfrom the tree trunk as the tree matures, preservingthe memorial aspect of the planting. The MemorialTrees will be ordered in October for Novemberdelivery and planting each year. Monuments will beordered at the same time so they are installed atthe plantings.

This will be an on-going program as the needfor replacement trees will always be present.

If you are interested in being a Patron of aMemorial Tree, please contact the Oak HillCemetery office for all the details.

In his article, PresidentGeorge Hill did his normal excel-lent job describing the manyprojects and works-in-progress.The activity around the ceme-tery is very evident to someonewho comes for a visit. We will bequite active with the variousprojects for some time to come.

You noticed, I am sure, thatthe masthead of our newsletterhas expanded to include themembers of our now very activeOak Hill Cemetery HistoricPreservationFoundationBoard ofDirectors. Alongwith our Directorof Development,they are workingon the creation ofan active develop-ment program toprovide funding forthe vast number ofprojects we need andwill need in the fore-seeable future. Funruns and HalloweenParties are not in theDNA of Oak HillCemetery. Rather, thetenor will be in keepingwith a 19th Century gar-den cemetery worthy of

the excellent stewardship of ourBoard of Managers and now ourFoundation Board of Directors.Please take note of theFoundation Board activities andlend them your support, bothfinancial and spiritual.

Speaking of spirits, seldom aday goes by that one or two visi-tors don't come asking to locatethe Carroll Mausoleum featuredin George Saunders new novel,"Lincoln in the Bardo." John

Kelly of theWashington Post wasone of those visitorsand featured us inhis Metro sectionarticle the week ofApril 17th. Darlaand I are listeningto the tape versionof the book as Iwrite this. So far, Ican say it is aninteresting piecefor 19th centuryenthusiasts andhas a fewauthentic char-acters. Butmost of thecharactersand thecemetery

scenery are fictional. The settingat Oak Hill Cemetery addsimmensely to the story, of course.If you want directions to theCarroll Mausoleum, stop by theoffice for a special card with amap and the non-fiction versionof the story.

In the past two years the roleof our grounds crew has expand-ed to include not only groundsbut also infrastructure repairsand maintenance. I came to theconclusion that the seasonalduties of gardening, cutting grass,blowing leaves, and the constantgeneral cleanup was fallingbehind, not because our crewwas unwilling. It was simply amanpower issue. Last fall, JorgeRobles worked temporarily withour other grounds men doing the

necessary leaf removal. This spring he graciouslyagreed to re-join the staff, now as a regular employ-ee. Jorge has experience in general construction sohe brings extra skills that we will undoubtedly relyon from time to time. Please welcome Jorge Roblesto our staff.

I realized I haven't mentioned our OfficeAdministrator in a newsletter. As is her nature,Margaret Mihori, quietly joined the office staff in2015. She spent 20+ years with the Japan-USFriendship Commission prior to taking a break tocare for her mother. Margaret has two girls, Marisa(an aspiring-to med-school HS sophomore andJennifer (a "wise-beyond-her-years" twelve-year-old), who keep her and her husband Jim very busy.They live in Great Falls. She is the person who mostlikely answers your phone call or e-mail, and whogreets you when you visit the office. Margaret saysshe likes her job at Oak Hill and enjoys the oppor-tunity to help with questions, research, and themany visitors we see.

Two more areas were recently developed for cas-ket interments and cremation inurnments. Fourcasket sites were added at the foot of HoneysucklePath near our main intersection. Three of the fourwere taken almost immediately. A path near the28th Street gate was made ready for inurnmentspaces by our staff members Abraham Meija andRico Haraujo. These are the same, but different, asother pathway cremation options where the inscrip-tion will be done on the stone covering the path.This is the first of what will be many times wherethe sites are the creation of our staff vs. an outsidecontractor. We will continue to develop inventory invarious locations throughout the cemetery. As Ioften say, I think Oak Hill will be an active ceme-tery for 50-100 more years.

Early this year, we received a pleasant surprise.A most generous person donated over $100,000 tothe cemetery to be added to our "endowment." Shehad made provisions for the contribution to bemade upon her death. We really appreciate thisdonation and hope that others will consider makingthe same gesture in the future.

We set aside a large part of this newsletter andthe last one for information about our iron fencealong "R" Street. That fence is a significant struc-ture of the cemetery. Mrs. Lina Steele wrote us afterthe last newsletter, "The beautiful cast iron fenceyou hope to have repaired was part of John's (herrecently departed husband) daily walk to Montrose

Park�� He admired the beautiful fence whichgives the street elegance, and a sense of perma-nence." Her description, "elegance and a sense ofpermanence," really struck me. It sums up not onlythe fence but our entire lovely cemetery. Thefence, while being elegant and "permanent", is trulyat a state where it must be "restored" as defined inthis issue's article. Our Historic PreservationFoundation is collecting funds for this project. Weknow this will require a significant effort to raisethe necessary amount.

So, to that end, I have a couple of suggestions.

One is please direct your contributions to thePreservation Foundation. It will be the source offunding for the fence. Second, if you haven't madea donation but have thought about it, or, thoughtabout significantly increasing your donation for aworthy result, this is the time. Oak Hill Cemeteryand the entire community will benefit by preservingthis historic fence that "gives the street eleganceand a sense of permanence," just as Mrs. Steelewrote.

As always, come visit!!!!!

prospective donors. The construction of new inurnment boxes

along the sides of the steps above the CarriageHouse, about which I began writing in September,continues. This is a labor-intensive project requir-ing expert masonry, and we are very pleased withthe design and construction. We expect that thisproject will come to a conclusion in the next fewweeks, with landscaping design to follow. Aftercompletion, we will consider repairing and reconfig-uring the concrete pad around the Carriage House.This pad shows settlement and cracking, and itwould be best to eliminate water penetration onthe hillside as much as possible. The area could alsostand some screening and beautification, to maskthe equipment and materials necessary to maintainthe grounds.

The past two months our employees, especiallyRico Harajula and Abraham Meija, have workedthe fence line and pathways between the gatehouseand North Hill. Brian Williamson, Jose Guzmon,Mainor Pinor-Torres and Jorge Robles, who wasrehired a few days ago, are maintaining andimproving this landscape. Headstones and lotmarkers have been aligned and straightened, withflowers planted. We thank them for their creativityand hard work. As we will be looking to repave thenearby road, we need to design drainage and curb-ing. As we wish to improve access for our smallvehicles along one or two of those pathways, we arewidening, adding gutters, contouring the ground,and seeding and sodding. Other paths are beingreset, with steps added. Lorton Stone will beginwork now on repairing a section of the rubble stonewall that separates us from Montrose Park. Thefence will be repaired, and trees and vines are beingtrimmed. These improvements will in the futureallow us to add new burial space in pathways, or innew cremation boxes along the sides of those path-ways.

Further back along that fence, and over the hilltoward Rock Creek, the Linthicum Mausoleumcontinues to deteriorate. We are considering dis-

mantling the structure so that it no longer poses athreat to staff or visitors. Your thoughts are wel-come.

After a delay of several months we have begunthe excavation and construction of a large concretepad in the main intersection of Central Avenue.The pad is necessary to change out our waste con-tainers, which are used during construction orseasonally for leaf and grass disposal. Sometimesthere are too many to store at the carriage house,and changing a full for an empty requires room tomaneuver, so the pad is necessary. We are attempt-ing to minimize the visual impact of this newinstallation. While the Metro Paving crew is here,we will install curbing in that intersection and else-where, improve several drainage inlets andexploring what lies beneath the road surface. So farwe have not found cobbled roads, but we have justbegun.

Three existing pathways have been rebuilt toenable burials, one near the 28th Street gate, andtwo near the gatehouse. We will work to makethem attractive additions to our inventory of burialspace.

Some work has begun on the gatehouse. Thefoundations have been examined, and some repairand reinforcement is necessary. The mudroom shedat the rear of the house is rotting, and needs to bereplaced. Outerbridge Horsey has finished themeasured drawings, permits are being secured, andconstruction should be underway soon. Plans forimproving the kitchen and a bathroom are alsomoving along. We appreciate the patience of Daveand Darla Jackson during these renovations.

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of travelingto Germany and Austria. Again, I tried to incorpo-rate visits to several cemeteries, and visited three inSalzburg, Vienna and Munich, as well as theImperial Crypt in Vienna. I remain convinced thatOak Hill is one of the world's most beautiful. Springshows us at our best, so please visit soon.

In our last newsletter, wewrote about the history,grandeur, and importance of ourtall fence along"R" Street. If youremember, our fence resemblesthe fence at the entry to MountAuburn Cemetery in Cambridge,MA. Mount Auburn is the firstof the "garden" movement ofcemeteries in the 19th century.It, too, is one of the pre-eminentresting places in America. Muchhas been written about the beau-ty, the landscape, and themagnificence of that cemetery,including its many significant

monuments and mausoleums.The Oak Hill Cemetery

Board of Managers wishes toundertake a project to restoreour iron fence because the 150year-old structure has reachedthe point where merely repairingand painting will not avoid even-tual collapse. In the past,portions of the fence wereknocked over by automobiles ortrees and repaired. In recentyears, however, parts of the fencehave fallen over because of thedeterioration of the structure ata post or supporting top or bot-

tom rail. Here are pictures of arecent failure. Picture A

Steel "braces" were recentlyinstalled to add support alongnearly one-half of the fenceposts. Picture B

In short, the problem is rust,or oxidation, developed in pock-ets and crevices which turnedwhat was formerly cast iron intonothing but rust. The fence waspainted numerous times but nowthe oxidation is so pervasive thatit is beginning to overcome thestructure. Without exception,every contractor and preserva-tion consultant has concludedthat full restoration is needed topreserve the fence. Here aresome pictures of the conditionscommonly found along our ironfence. Pictures C, D. E.

What is restoration? Aprocess to dismantle the fenceand remove it, replace the partsthat are consumed with rust,remove the old paint from theremainder, repair damaged areasin the remaining iron, apply anew coating system of paint, andthen reassemble the new fenceon new bases back in its originallocation. Each step requiresextensive study as to its own bestpractice and the balancebetween structural soundnessand cost effectiveness. For athorough discussion of all the

elements relating to cast iron preservation, mainte-nance and repair, look at the National Park ServicePreservation Brief #27 "The Maintenance andCare of Architectural Cast Iron" by John G. Waite,AIA.

Since our last report, several of the preliminarysteps have been taken to eventually restore our ironfence. Last summer every member of the Oak HillCemetery Board of Managers and theSuperintendent traveled to visit Mount AuburnCemetery. The primary reason for the trip was tosee their newly restored iron fence and meet theMount Auburn officials and contractor involvedwith the project. We spent the morning touringwith Mount Auburn President Dr. David Barnett.He graciously walked the group around a large por-tion of the 175 acres of Mount Auburn where heshowed examples of various "best practices" theydeveloped for a variety of issues. It was a terrificallyinformative tour for everyone in our group.

Later in the day, we met with Mount AuburnVP Gus Fraser who is in charge of their facilities

maintenance and construction. We also met withVincent Cassidy of Cassidy Bros. Foundry, the con-tractor who restored their iron fence. There was alively discussion about various options to performparts of the project like disassembly, the paint sys-tem, documents for permits, and transportation.The more we talked, the more the complexity ofthe project became apparent. The meeting went onfor two hours, capped by a walking tour of thefence. The original color of their fence was replicat-ed with what the contractor called "Mount AuburnGreen," a very deep, deep hue that looks blackuntil it is closely examined. The parts of the fence,posts, pickets, finials, rails, and decoration, were allgleaming and shiny on a sunlit afternoon. Everyonefelt it was a privilege to see the restored fence andappreciated the steps to its full restoration.

Following the trip, our Board of Managers andSuperintendent decided that the iron fence restora-tion project at Oak Hill should be done in at least

two phases. Phase one will be aproject that restores two sectionsof the fence. The first phase willenable us to determine the rightway to restore our fence and giveus an attractive example to assistwith raising the necessary funds.Three iron contractors wereasked for proposals and allresponded, with three differentapproaches to doing the workand three different costs. Thevariations were broad.Interviewing the contractors did-n't solve the mystery to thesatisfaction of the board. Thenext step was to enlist profes-sional assistance to help us sortthrough the options. Three dif-ferent restoration consultants

were contacted. They were askedfor a proposal to work out the

"best practices" for our projectduring phase one and then writethe resulting specification tocomplete phase two. Phase two

is restoring the remaining 78 sec-tions of the fence.

In late 2016, L. RichardFischer, Vice President of theOak Hill Cemetery HistoricPreservation Foundation made asignificant donation to pay forPhase One of the iron fencerestoration. In addition, GeorgeHill, President of the CemeteryBoard and the PreservationFoundation committed to pay forthe first fence section that will bedone as Phase Two of the proj-ect, another significant donation.

These very generous gentlemenhave given us the much neededmomentum to move out on thisvery important project.

Two proposals from consult-ants to help us with phase one ofthe project were received inFebruary. At this time, we arereviewing the proposals and willmake a selection, shortly. Weanticipate Phase One of the IronFence Restoration Project willbegin in 2017 and be completeby year-end.

Our History, Our Future As we start to think about

the future of the Oak HillCemetery Historic PreservationFoundation --- it is importantthat we pause and rememberthose that have already con-tributed. Whether you havegiven to the Oak Hill CemeteryCompany through continuedvolunteerism or a financial con-tribution to one of our funds,thank you for being part of ourstory.

The history of the Oak HillCemetery Historic PreservationFoundation is in many waysreflective of the cemetery andGeorgetown community it wascreated to serve. The Oak HillCemetery Historic PreservationFoundation was created to sup-port the ongoing maintenance,restoration and beautification ofthe Oak Hill Cemetery.Although the Foundation wasestablished in September 2008,progression was slow.

In Summer of 2016, theBoard of Directors was formed tolead the Foundation. After guid-ance from Lynn O'Connell, anonprofit consultant; theExecutive Director and Board ofDirectors hired a Director ofDevelopment, Elizabeth "Liz"Mizell. The fundraising effortsare well underway. Liz is con-structing a thorough list of pastcontributors to both the OakHill Cemetery and the Oak HillCemetery Historic PreservationFoundation. In addition to pastcontributors, Liz is creating a listof prospective individual donors,private family foundations andcorporations. This research andgathering process is the initialphase of the fundraising plan forthe Foundation. Knowing wherethe Foundation currently standsin terms of past 'gifts' is key tocultivating future fundingstreams.

that reports on the condition of the fence andthe steps being taken towards its restoration.

Monument Restoration ProgramThe Monument Restoration Program is an

ongoing preservation task. For example, formerSuperintendent Joe Pozell asked Mark Sanders ofLorton Stone to restore two monuments of somesignificance. An angel seen from 28th street wasknown to neighborhood children as "Dorothy."The angel and another monument on the Finleylot had been damaged by vandals. The only TerraCotta monument in our cemetery, remembers aninfant child of Robert and Mary Fugitt who wasburied in Chapel Valley in 1869. The figure of akneeling child was in pieces, missing its base andother parts of the sculpture. Mark Sanders wasable to restore the Terra Cota monument byreassembling the broken pieces and recasting themissing portions. Mark repaired the monumentstones for Dorothy and her parents as well.

Kline Memorials has created a survey of sev-eral monuments that must be reset. They havebeen in for three days using a boom truck andother equipment to repair some monuments.There are many monuments left to repair, photo-graphs of the progress are on the right.

Our bylaws make monument repairs theresponsibility of the lot holders. Despite thereluctance of some lot owners to repair theirfamily monuments, some stones must be resetbecause they are a safety hazard or they werepushed over by erosion.
