THE OLD RECEIVING VAULT, WOODLAWN CEMETERY, CANANDAIGUA, N. Y. 
position of graves and monuments has 
been indicated, so that every burial place 
may be located. 
The trustees hope soon to acquire 
about seven acres of land comprising 
the Hubbell gully, which divides the 
cemetery grounds. The gully will be 
left for ornamentation substantially as 
nature has designed it, excepting that 
an avenue will be extended through it. 
This drive will be the most attractive 
one in the cemetery, which is through- 
out of great natural beauty. 
A superintendent’s cottage of French 
design was constructed at a cost of 
about $3,500 and the receiving vault cost 
$2,000. It is a plain and substantial 
structure, providing for 64 bodies. 
The grounds have been thoroughly un- 
derdrained and the gully piped and pro- 
tected against damage in case of a 
freshet. A reservoir has been placed in 
the bank west of the cemetery, supplied 
by water from springs on the Sackett 
farm, from which iron pipes have been 
laid through the avenues to furnish wa- 
ter for sprinkling the sections and for 
general use. 
The bridge which has done good ser- 
vice on Linden avenue has now been re- 
the plans of John Handrahan and un- 
der the immediate charge of J. Donovan, 
a skilled mason. The boulders for the 
bridge were largely secured from a 
nearby farm and were generously donat- 
ed to the association by the owners. A 
committee has been appointed to take 
into consideration the building of a 
fence and entrance at the street, of field 
boulders, to harmonize’ with the bridge, 
and friends of the association have ex- 
pressed a desire to assist. 
Through the generosity of Mrs. 
Thompson, a handsome chapel is being 
erected after plans made by Architect 
Frank R. Allen, of Boston. 
While the Canandaigua Cemetery As- 
sociation by its deed guarantees to every 
lot owner perpetual care, the obligation 
does not extend beyond mowing the 
grass and keeping the surface of the 
ground in good condition. 
Quite a number of lot owners who 
have vases on their lots have taken ad- 
vantage of the provision in the bc'-laws 
of the association which provides- for 
the deposit of a sum of money, either 
during the lifetime of the owner or by 
a provision in his will, the interest of 
which will insure perpetual care of the 
when observing a speed limit of five 
miles an hour. 
No tree, bush or shrub may be planted 
or removed without permission of the 
committee on grounds. 
Upright head stones are permitted ; 
but the trustees recommend one general 
family monument, instead of upright 
separate head stones, as adding much to 
the beauty of the grounds. 
The foundations of all monuments 
and head stones must be of solid ma- 
sonrr' and to be set in Portland cement, 
and all grave markers and corner posts 
must be set by the superintendent. All 
upright head stones must be set to the 
depth of the graves. 
Lots can be obtained of any desired 
size from 100 Jeet upward. The prices 
are from 33 to 75 cents per superficial 
foot, which includes perpetual care. It 
■is found necessary to fix the scale of 
prices to meet the wants of all classes. 
Just as good ground is, however, sold 
at 33 cents as at 75 cents and the lots 
receive the same care. 
Lf. T. Dubel, the superintendent, is a 
member of the Association of American 
Cemetery Superintendents, and a fre- 
quent attendant at its meetings.
