Newton Cemetery. 



This Cemetery was begun a few years after Woodlawn, and con- 

 tains about eighty acres. Although one of the latest established 

 of the burial places near Boston, it ranks to-day among the fore- 

 most for beauty and finish. For simplicity and good taste, we 

 consider it unrivalled ; there is but little of the heavy granite and 

 iron work so conspicuous in some other places, and in the new 

 lots none is allowed — a rule which we think might be advan- 

 tageously adopted by the older cemeteries in our neighborhood. 



We award to the Newton Cemetery a gratuity of fifty dollars. 



For the Committee, 



WILLIAM GRAY, Jr., Chairman.
