Most obvious, the out- side needs some scraping, some priming and a fresh coat of paint overall. While the chapel comes un- der the care of South Bay Unit- ed Church, it is actually a space used by a much wider audience for weddings, funerals, the an- nual Christmas Eve Homecom- ing service and the Memorial Service on the long weekend in August. It's also been home to story and music performances about the area and has partici- pated in Doors Open. The cemetery, which saw its first burial in 1870, is still availa- ble to provide a resting place for cremated remains of those with descendants already there and for those who have become attached to the area since they moved here. There is a small trust fund for care of the ceme- tery and chapel. However, the repairs currently needed for the chapel are a stretch for that fund and also for South Bay Church. Because its presence is appreciated by so many, we thought you'd like to know and may- be help with the repairs if you can. Any amount would be so appreciated. For information about renting the chapel, buying cremation plots, etc., contact Dorothy Vincent at 613 476- 8435. If you would like to make a donation towards the repairs to the chapel, you can send a cheque, made out to “Black River Chapel and Cemetery”, to The Treasurer, Black River Chapel, Box 102, Milford ON KOK 2P0.
