Early in the week, Davison had priced repair materials at Leeder Monuments in Gananoque: on Tuesday morning, he was puzzled to see a group of men he didn’t recognize apparently righting some of the gravestones. He investigated, and learned that Leeder Monuments had directed a work crew to Sydenham cemetery, "to do what they could." By Saturday morning when over 40 local volunteers arrived, much of the work had already been done, and they made quick work of what remained. Davison, a retired stonemason, is planning to continue to work on some of the oldest stones, which have been badly shattered, and reports a few may be beyond repair.
