A third cemetery for Enid. Okla., 
is about an assured fact. The Odd 
Fellows' lodge of the city has the mat- 
ter in the hands of a committee which 
expects to determine upon the loca- 
tion of the grounds in the near fu- 
ture. For some time the Odd Fel- 
lows have been considering the pos- 
sibility of laying out another ceme- 
tery near the city, for the express 
purpose of burying the members and 
families of their order. The matter 
is now passing out of a tentative stage 
and early in the year the committee 
which now has the matter in charge 
hopes to decide upon a location. 
The city council of Elyria, O., has 
by resolutions authorized the board 
of control to secure options on prop- 
erty adjoining Cascade Park on the 
north, and on a suitable site near the 
city limits for a new cemetery. The 
need of extra ground has been recog- 
nized by the Council for some years 
past. 
The Directors of the Evergreen 
Cemetery Company, Newport, O., 
closed a deal recently by which they 
purchased from Dr. Shaler Berry, 
trustee, 34;^ acres of land lying just 
west of the cemetery. It is the inten- 
tion of the Directors to maintain the 
additional tract in woods, as it is not 
needed at present. The cemetery 
grounds now embrace about 125 acres, 
with sufficient burial space to last 50 
years. 
New sections on the East side of 
Wyuka, Cemetery. Lincoln, Nebr., 
will be opened this coming spring.

The Doddridge 
Grave Linings 
are more highly appreciated 
in cold, stormy weather than 
at any other time. That soft, 
warm, comfortable effect be- 
ing in such contrast to the 
cold gloomy appearance of 
the ordinary grave that both 
you and your customers are 
delighted with them. Then, 
the waterproof backs insure 
you a nice clean lining. You 
need them more in the winter 
months tha.i any other time. 
Then don't forget our dirt 
covers and grave tents. 
Winter is coming and you 
will need them too. We 
make our waterproof dirt 
covers, 12x12 and our light- 
weight covers, 9x12, at $1.85. 
This is just what you want 
for dry weather — they are 
so easily handled that you 
would dread to use the 
heavy ones again.
