VIII 
PARK AND CEMETERY. 
OBITUARY 
John M. Boxell, superintendent of 
Oakland Cemetery, St. Paul, Minn., 
died suddenly at his summer home at 
Red Rock, Minn., July 29, 1908, after an 
illness of two days with inflammation 
of the bowels. His death is indirectly 
attributed to the heat. Mr. Boxell was 
a native of Minnesota and had been 
connected with Oakland cemetery 
twenty-three years, nineteen of which 
he served in the capacity of superin- 
tendent. His able management of the 
cemetery and his sterling integrity en- 
deared him to a wide circle of friends. 
Mr. Boxell became a member of the 
Association of American Cemetery 
Superitendents in 1889 and was a regu- 
lar attendant at the annual conventions 
and a valued member of the organiza- 
tion. He was one of the committee 
who recommended Kansas City for the 
1908 convention and had made prepara- 
tions to attend the meeting. A few 
hours after his death his aged mother- 
in-law, Mrs. Harriet A. Lanpher, who 
was visiting him at the time and had 
been in poor health, passed away, thus 
doubly bereaving the widow and six 
children who survive. The funerals 
were held at the same time from the 
«hapel in Oakland where the bodies 
were interred.

The State of Wisconsin is having that 
part of the Interstate Park, Dalles of 
the St. Croix in that state cleaned up 
and reforested. Probably no five hun- 
dred and fifty acres in the United States 
has so many natural advantages, supple- 
mented by Minnesota’s part of the park. 
The new water power dam that gives a 
fifty-seven-foot cataract and a flowage 
of eleven miles, makes a beautiful lake 
of the River St. Croix. Those that have 
access to the Minnesota and Wisconsin 
Blue Books should read up on this 
great natural park.

St. Paul, Minn., is making a beau- 
tiful parkway out of Como avenue. The 
avenue runs diagonally and the city has 
acquired many of the triangular blocks, 
giving a parkway of over three hundred 
feet in depth in many places, while at 
no point will the boulevard be less than 
one hundred feet. Como avenue starts 
from near the new Minnesota state cap- 
itol, said to be one of the finest public 
buildings in the world.
