THE MODERN CEMETERY.

S. S. STONE MONUMENT, LAKEVIEW CEMETERY, CLEVELAND, O. 
The S. S. Stone monument, Lakeview Ceme- 
tery, Cleveland, O., is a dignified and imposing 
piece of memorial work, combining the special feat- 
ures of a family vault, with the artistic effect of the 
individual monument. It is of the Corinthian order 
of architecture, enriched with the renaissance, the 
individual feature being the statue, which is a por- 
trait, heroic size, of the late Silas Stafford Stone, at 
one time a prominent citizen of Cleveland. The 
granite used in the construction of this work is the 
fine Westerly from the quarries of the Smith Gran- 
ite Co., of Westerly, R. I., who executed the 
work.

Vandals at Stroudsburg, Pa., used dynamite to 
blow open a cemetery vault in an attempt to rob 
the bodies of jewelry. No valuables were found 
and the bodies were left undisturbed. The vault, a 
$30,000 structure, was but slightly damaged.
