CEMETERY NOTES 
{Continued from page sss) 
The State supreme court of Pennsyl- 
vania has sustained Judge Ferris, of 
Wilkesbarre, in deciding that coal com- 
panies have the right to mine coal un- 
der a cemetery. The appeal to the high- 
er court was made by the trustees of 
St. Vincent’s Cemetery at Plymouth, 
who sought to restrain the Kingston 
Coal Company from mining under the 
cemetery. Judge Mestrezat, who wrote 
the opinion, says counsel for the coal 
company assured the court that the pil- 
lars supporting the surface of the ceme- 
tery would not be mined and that there 
was no danger of a cave-in of the sur- 
face which would precipitate the coffins 
into the mine. One thousand bodies are 
interred in the cemetery. The judge de- 
clares that the title to the coal under St. 
Vincent’s Cemetery is in the Kingston 
Coal Company, and the question raised 
by the congregation, therefore, not suffi- 
ciently substantiated to interfere with 
the corporation. 
* * * 
Because, she says, the Crown Hill 
Cemetery, of Indianapolis, without her 
knowledge, disinterred four bodies from 
her burial lot in the cemetery and placed 
them in another lot, and because she 
could not find the bodies for several 
months, Mrs. Mary J. Cheek has sued 
the Crown Hill Cemetery Corporation 
for $10,000 damages. 
* * 
Lot owners in the New Camden 
Cemetery, at Camden, N. J., have been 
asked by the trustees to place lots, head- 
stones, etc., in order. Superintendent 
Stein is making a number of improve- 
ments to the grounds and driveways. 
Old Camden Cemetery is also to be im- 
proved and placed in better condition. 
* * * 
An ordinance by Alderman Kuehn is 
being considered by the city council of 
San Antonio, Tex., providing that no 
additional cemeteries be established in 
the city limits.

Mrs. Russell Sage is supposed to be 
the anonymous donor of $10,000 to 
Mount Ida Cemetery, Troy, N. Y., on 
condition that the city expend $1,500 a 
year on the grounds.
