Please send information and photos of sweeps and friends of the sweep community who have passed to mheeke@ncsg.org for inclusion on this page. Last updated 7/25/11 |
|  | | | Here the memory of all those who in some way served as part of our history will be honored as we memorialize our industry’s teachers, inventors, volunteers and friends. This page is intended for us, members of the chimney service trade, to take pause in union for a common purpose. These, are just some of the many who have served in private businesses or with state and national guilds during their time with us. This is their place of reflection, to be honored as part of one family, whether they have served as chimney sweeps or within related fields in support of the chimney sweep trade. We have no fences here as we reflect on members of our departed sweep family. As this is a memorial to all of our departed brothers and sisters so that they are never forgotten; our history shall remain intact. As they should be remembered by both new and old, always should we take pause and give humble thanks, as kindred souls and let no man put asunder. |
