9.11 Memorial Dedication

Saturday, September 12, 2026 | 10:00 a.m. | Hillside Cemetery & Arboretum

Please join us at Hillside Cemetery & Arboretum as we gather to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and dedicate a new memorial honoring five members of our community whose lives were lost that day.

At the heart of the memorial is a remarkable steel cross handcrafted from steel recovered from the World Trade Center site by a New York City firefighter. The firefighter created the cross and later presented it to the Henwood family, who have entrusted this deeply meaningful piece of history to be part of Hillside’s permanent memorial.

Members of the Henwood family will join us as we remember their brother, John Christopher Henwood, along with Edward T. Fergus Jr., Peter C. Fry, John F. Iskyan, and Edward P. York.

Together, we will dedicate this special place of remembrance—honoring five lives, the courage and sacrifice of the first responders, and a day our nation will never forget.

All are welcome to attend.
