Every year R.E. Murphy and Son Monuments in Lewiston volunteers to help clean a local cemetery in honor of the founder, Robert Murphy. This year, Dave Murphy recruited The Fortin Group/Crosman Funeral Home to help in the restoration effort of cleaning up the oldest cemetery in Lewiston, Garcelon Cemetery. The cemetery was established sometime just before 1800. The original cemetery was closer to the river than it is today but upon a flooding was washed away. The cemetery includes the graves of some of the earliest town leaders and other inhabitants of South Lewiston, including Charles Augustus Garcelon, civil war hero and son of Gov. Alonzo Garcelon, and his descendants, all prominent citizens in their own right. According to Jean Connors, the cemetery was unable to hire a groundskeeper to do fall cleanup this year, and with Hurricane Sandy causing a lot of fallen leaves, there was work to do to clean and fix monuments.
