The Sylvester & West Memorial Committee will be holding a Monument Unveiling and Dedication on Saturday, December 15, 2007 commencing at 1:00 pm. The Memorial Monument is located on the corner property of the Mary Bray Elementary School on West Kings Highway and Station Avenue in Mount Ephraim, New Jersey.
On July 4, 2002, a house fire in neighboring Gloucester City suddenly collapsed, tragically claiming the lives of three young children and the three brave firefighters who valiantly tried to save them.
Two of these men, James E. Sylvester & John D. West Sr. were more then just firefighters; they were well known and respected residents of the borough of Mount Ephraim. The sacrifice that they gave will never be forgotten!
This memorial has been constructed to commemorate their lives and the dedication they gave to the community. The Sylvester & West Memorial Committee is still accepting donations for the monument.
The project is still short a little over $15,000.00. All funds collected are for the sole purpose of building and maintaining this memorial.
For more information about the memorial, the dedication and the unveiling, please visit the Mount Ephraim Fire Department\’s website at www.mefd.org and click on the \”MEMORIAL\” link on the left side of the home page.
