A long time comin’!

Hi, my name is Libby Kephart Hargrave, great-granddaughter of Horace and Laura Kephart.

The Horace Kephart Foundation is humbly asking you to help raise money for two grave markers which will be placed next to Horace Kephart’s grave at the Bryson City Cemetery.

Unveiling ceremony will take place 10:30am, May 20, 2023.

When George Masa died in 1933, it was his wish to be buried next to Horace Kephart. He was buried in Asheville.

Horace Kephart’s wife, Laura Mack Kephart wanted her ashes to be placed with her husband. She expressed this in letters to her children and it was written her obituary in 1954.

It is unknown where her ashes were placed.

Now, we are reuniting Masa, Laura and Horace!

HK Foundation needs your help with the cost of the grave markers and the ceremony.

All donors will receive recognition in the ceremony program.

Thank you so very much.
