For receiving tomb charges a de- 
posit is required, for each adult $30.00, 
for each child under ten years $24.00; 
which will be returned in full on re- 
moval within ten days to a lot in

charge of $5.00 for each adult and

the deposit. 
From its elevated location and the 
large expenditures made in the de- 
velopment of the cemetery tract dur- 
ing the past forty years, Woodlawn 
Cemetery has become one of the most 
highly developed burial places in the 
United States, and this City of the 
Silent is a garden, made beautiful 
with trees, flowers, and shrubbery. 
This work from the outset has been 
carried forward under expert land- 
scape men, and the business affairs 
have been carefully and systemati- 
cally administered. The officers of 
the corporation are: President, James 
D. Smith; vice-president, Charles H. 
Edgar; treasurer, Charles Stewart 
Smith; secretary and assistant treas- 
urer, Howard C. Smith; manager. 
James R. R. McEwen; superintend- 
ent, Frederick R. Diering; engineer, 
Judson A. Doolittle: in charge of lot 
sales, Willet B. Andrews; clerk, 
Janies D. Buttolph. 
The laws of the State of New York 
provide that no street, road, avenue 
or other public thoroughfare shall be 
opened through the cemetery without 
consent of the directors and of two- 
thirds of the lot owners, and then 
only by special permission of the 
Legislature of the State. 
Such lands are forever exempted 
from assessments and public taxes, 
and also from liability to be sold on 
execution, or for payment of debts.
