CHAPEL. — GROVE HILL CEMETERY, SHELRYVILLE, KY. 
Chapel in Qrove Hill Cemetery, Shelbyville, Ky. 
Beautifully 
situated in the 
midst of a grove 
of grand old for- 
est trees is the 
recently comple- 
ted chapel in 
Grove Hill Cem- 
etery, Shelby- 
ville, Ky. The 
building is 24 x 
48 feet, and is 
constructed of 
Bedford, Ind., 
limestone. The 
exterior walls 
are rock-faced, 
with cut stone 
trimmings of the 
same material. 
On the inside the 
walls are finished 
in sawn stone

the wood work is in yellow pine and antique oak, 
the design of the Gothic ceiling being particularly 
effective. 
Stained glass windows admit a subdued light 
into this well appointed sanctuary, which, as will 
be seen by the accompanying sketch, is provided 
with all the requirements of the modern chapel. 
The building cost over $5,000 and is to be used by 
lot-owners free of charge. Mr. Lynn T. Gruber of 
L. H. Gruber & Sons, Shelbyville, Ky. , was the 
architect. We are indebted to Mr. George W. 
Reily, Secretary and Superintendent, for photo- 
graphs of the chapel and other views in the cem- 
etery. 
At New London, Conn., a woman was recently 
convicted of stealing flowers from Cedar Grove ceme- 
tery and sent to jail for three months. If more of 
the thieves were dealt with in this manner the prac 
tice would be less common. 
Newtown, Long Island, that cemetery-ridden 
suburb of New York, is thankful to Governor 
Flower for his recent veto of a bill that promised to 
increase the number of cemeteries in the vicinity. 
If there is any community in this country likely to 
suffer from the proximity of cities of the dead that 
place was Newtown, where, for years, thou- 
sands of New York’s dead have been buried 
annually.
