Knoxville, Tenn., was nominated for 

 president and W. N. Rudd, president of 

 Mount Greenwood cemetery, Chicago, 

 vice-president. Both candidates, having 

 no opposition, were elected by acclama- 

 tion at the final session August 24. Two 

 men were nominated for secretary-treas- 

 urer, W. B. Jones, of Pittsburgh, and 

 George W. Creasy, of Salem, Mass. 

 James Warren, the retiring president, 

 was named a member of the executive 

 committee. 



After the nomination of officers sev-

 markers, or headstones, emphasizing the

 W. N. Rudd and Thomas Wallace, of 

 Chicago, and R. D. Howell, of Washing- 

 ton, were appointed a committee to 

 draft resolutions of condemnation of 

 government headstones. S. J. Hare 

 spoke interestingly on the importance 

 of proper settings for monuments, main- 



taining that the setting is as important 

 as the monument itself.

 Lawson spoke about the deceptions prac- 

 ticed by the "unprincipled promoters," 

 who sold lots for twelve graves when 

 eight adults was the most they could 

 hold. The location committee recom- 

 mended Barre, Vt., as the meeting 

 plaoe of the next convention. In the 

 afternoon members were given a trip 

 around the harbor as guests of the 

 Chamber of Commerce.
