We are saddened to hear of the death of Clint Trefethen! He will be missed! I had the opportunity to get to know Clint through emails like many other Trefethen genealogy researchers.
He passed away around the first part of February. We had noticed that his Trefethen site had been taken down. His posting of the Trefethen family Genealogy was so helpful to so many of us. It was a treasure! I found this posting at the Newport Historical Society Web Page:
In late January, the late Clint Trefethen, outstanding local artist, contributed a beautiful painting of the Pier Bridge for the Society to raffle. Clint passed away three weeks after donating the painting and we were devastated! His generosity, talent and good spirit will be missed for many years to come. The painting was unveiled initially at Lake Sunapee Bank as part of a local covered bridge exhibit. (Newport was once the home of 19 covered bridges, six highway and thirteen railroad.) In early spring the painting was removed to Sugar River Bank and remained on display until raffled as part of our June 2, Reliving New Hampshire’s Past, event. Permission has been granted by Clint’s daughter, to use the image provided by Clint for prints of this beautiful painting.
To Clint's family: May memories and love comfort your heart with gentle warmth.
