APPENDIX A-Monuments and Headstone for Evaluation

1. Bear River Monument: Monument has several cracks and staining that shall be evaluate; may need repair and cleaning to prevent further deterioration. The most immediate repair is the head that has now come off of the monument and shall be reset and repaired in accordance with Secretary of interiors standards. The head itself also needs evaluation as it has received several “repair” that do not match in color or texture (concrete). Head is being temporarily held at the nearby Fort Douglas Museum Curation Facility.

2. Govenor Doty (1865) and 3. BG Edward Connor Memorials (1891): The sandstone used is poorly cemented and exhibits stratification, allowing water to easily penetrate.

5. Ellen Gray (1883); H101 Stone has cracked and loose on base, requires leveling and resetting.

6. Peter O’Donnell (1885); H81 Stone has become loose from base, easily can topple over. Use of Epoxy/adhesive to re-secure spire, require evaluation for level of implementation.
