CEMETERY IMPROVEMENTS 
Forest Hills Cemetery, Chattanooga, 
Tenn., has expended $500 on road mak- 
ing and repair in 1909. Daniel E. Bush- 
nell is secretary. 
Elliott Grove Cemetery, Brunswick, 
Mo., has done some road building at an 
expense of about $400. They are con- 
sidering the erection of a greenhouse, if 
a suitable man can be had to care 
for it and act as sexton. The cemetery 
includes about twenty acres. Louis 
Benecke is manager. 
Evergreen Cemetery, Gettysburg, Pa., 
is being attractively improved. The 
new grounds recently acquired will not 
be laid out at once, but the develop- 
ment will be continued harmoniously 
whenever the managers so decide. 
The Calvary (Catholic) Cemetery 
Association, Saginaw, Mich., has pur- 
chased a tract of 60 acres, just south 
of Eorest Lawn Cemetery and outside 
the city limits at a cost of $10,000. The 
association has been considering this 
matter for some years, the grounds of 
Calvary Cemetery being nearly fully 
occupied. It is intended to employ a 
landscape gardener and to lay out some 
40 acres of the tract without delay. 
A general cleaning up is proposed 
by the Ridge cemetery officials, Eremont, 
Neb., in the spring, in order to pro- 
vide more funds for care purposes. 
New sections of lots are to be opened 
up and sold at a considerable advance 
on former prices. At a recent meet- 
ing the old officers of the association 
were re-elected. Mr. E. H. Barnard, 
president, missed this meeting, the first 
time in 25 years. 
The new receiving tomb for Belle- 
fontaine Cemetery, St. Louis, Mo., de- 
signed and constructed by John H. Mc- 
Carthy, contractor, is on the Grecian 
Doric style. The material is Blue Bed- 
ford stone with Quincy granite columns. 
The chapel is 33 ft. x 23 ft., has 40 
catacombs, and is equipped with elec- 
tric fans, heaters and lights, and cost 
about $40,000. 
The North Cedar Hill Cemetery Co., 
Jenkintown, Pa., has purchased two 
contiguous plots of ground for exten- 
sion purposes. 
Roseland Park Cemetery, Detroit, 
Mich., is to have a reinforced concrete 
compartment mausoleum to contain 2,000 
crypts. It is to be classic in design, 110 
ft. x 180 ft., by two stories in height. 
The crypts will be five tiers high, fac- 
ing spacious corridors, and will be 
faced with white Italian marble. The 
floors will be of marble and all metal 
work of bronze. Architect, Mr. Louis 
Kemper. 
Funds have been secured by the ladies 
of Gallatin, Tenn., sufficient to begin 
much needed improvements in Galla- 
tin’s city of the dead. The cemetery 
is already much improved; thanks to 
the efforts of the women. 
A tract of seven acres has been added 
to Greenwood Cemetery, Lebanon, Pa., 
which wdll be improved. The cemetery 
now contains 13 acres, admirably situ- 
ated and upon which great improve- 
ments are being considered. 
The work of enlarging and improv- 
ing South Bridgton, Me., Cemetery has 
been completed. This included an iron 
and stone boundary fence, gateways and 
reciving tomb, and were made possible 
by a bequest under the will of the late 
John Perley, of Wisconsin, a native of 
South Bridgton. 
The work of improvement in Bona- 
venture Cemetery, Savannah, Ga., under 
the Park and Tree Commission, is pro- 
gressing steadily. The paving contract 
calls for 200 car loads of Augusta 
gravel ; and bids have been received for 
a water tank to cost some $5,000. The 
tree work is also a prominent question 
and is being given all the necessary at- 
tention. 
The new mortuary chapel in Ever- 
green Cemetery, Colorado Springs, Colo., 
is about completed. It is a one-story 
and basement stone building costing 
$10,000. The first floor will be used as 
a chapel, having a seating capacity of 
100 ; the basement is fitted up as a 
vault to accommodate 36 bodies.
