PARK AND CEMETERY. 
THE BETTER CLASS OF CEMETERY MONUMENTS 
ANOTHER REPLICA OF TOMB OP SCIPIO, 
PORTLAND, ORE. 
On the cover of Park and Cemetery for April, 1908, was 
illustrated a picture of the Henry C. Payne monument in 
Forest Home Cemetery, Milwaukee, which was then believed 
to be the only exact copy of the famous tomb of the Scipios, 
erected in this country. William P. Mackenzie, an official 
of Riverview Cemetery, Portland, Ore., sends the accom- 
panying picture of the Henry Failing memorial in that ceme- 
tery, which he believes to be another exact reproduction of 
the great Roman tomb. As will b^ seen by comparing the 
pictures of the two memorials, they seem tp be identical in 
design, and both must be classed as very accurate copies of 
the original. Mr. Failing was one of the founders of River- 
view Cemetery, and was its treasurer when he died in 1898. 
The monument was erected by his daughters in 1900. The 
monument is of blue Westerly granite, 7-4 x 12-3 at the base, 
and cost $6,000. The Van Amringe Granite Co., Boston, 
Mass., were the contractors for the work. 
The Bachman monument shown in one of our illustra- 
tions is a classic design of good proportion executed by 
Edward C. Kreutzer, of Wheeling, W. Va., and stands in 
Greenwood Cemetery, in that city. It is of light Barre 
granite, all fine hammered, size 9-0x4-10x6-0. 
The Forrest exedra, shown in our picture above, is 
an impressive architectural memorial more elaborate than 
usually seen on a cemetery lot. It stands in Crown Hill 
Cemetery, Indianapolis, and was erected by Thomas Stani- 
land & Co., of Dayton, O., who have a large number of 
fine memorials in Ohio to their credit. Under the canopy 
is the bronze figure of a woman with palm branch in her 
hand, bowed before a casket. 
The Furman memorial erected by the Harrison Granite 
Co., of New York, in Mt. Olivet Cemetery, Nashville, 
Tenn., is a very unusual and elaborate private monument. 
The designer, W. L. Cottrell, of New York, took his in- 
spiration from the south porch of the Erectheion at Ath- 
ens, the famous “Portico of the Maidens.” As his struc- 
ture stands free, and is not backed up against a wall as in 
the ancient Ionic monument, it was necessary to modify 
the original arrangement of the caryatides which were 
modeled by John Galert, the New York sculptor, and 
true to their original Grecian purpose, actually carry the 
surrounding entablatures instead of being purely orna- 
mental as in many of their modern adaptations. The fig- 
ures display good modeling as well as that architectural 
stability necessary to these sculptured burden bearers. 
The die is a study from the well known tomb of Scipio. 
This stone weighs 94,500 pounds. The structure is of 
Barre granite and cost $25,000. It is 21-10x12-2 at the 
base and the caryatides are seven feet high.
