Seven old tombs, two in the Old 
Granary Burying Ground and five in 
the King’s Chapel Burying Ground, 
Boston, were recently opened in the 
course of the usual spring repair 
work. Some of the old tombs, built 
under ground, were constructed with 
a flight of steps leading down from 
the surface to the floor of the tomb. 
Before placing earth over the opening 
made by the.se steps, boards were laid 
across the walls at the side of the 
steps to keep the earth from falling 
in. It is this planking which has 
rotted that necessitates the repairs.

Crystal Springs Cemeterj^ owned 
by the city of Benton Harbor, Mich., 
and of which Mr. C. E. Reeves is sex- 
ton, is conducted by a cemetery board 
appointed by the mayor and council. 
This board elects its own officers and 
the superintendent, who serves with- 
out pay, employs a salaried sexton. 
The ground comprises some 30 acres, 
only 20 of which are available for bur- 
ial purposes, the remainder being ra- 
vines and bottom land. There is a 
chapel for the usual services.
