Restoration of the Smeesters / Terwagne Marker at Saint Louis Cemetery in Dyckesville has been completed. On behalf of all of the cousins, a special thank you to those who contributed--both in time and money--to this special project preserving our family history for future generations.

	The Smeesters/Terwagne marker restoration project has been made possible by the generosity of descendents and their families.
