LAKEWOOD CEMETERY 
CHAPEL 
{Concluded from page 5i8) 
the personality of all the people that 
worked on this chapel with me. I 
would like to make you understand 
that every square foot of mosaic work 
that you are looking at has over one 
thousand separate pieces, and it is no 
exaggeration that there are nearly ten 
million or more separate pieces in the 
chapel at Lakewood. And I do it, 
why? So as to make you understand 
the fundamental quality of the color 
scheme with which the artist is work- 
ing. 
“But my mission is simply to sug- 
gest, for the moment; there is no 
time to elaborate. I only want you 
to remember that the thought of my- 
self and my co-workers in follow- 
ing the instructions of your building 
committee had been to make a chapel 
not hopeless, not gloomy — to elim- 
inate the very present blight, and 
bring it into color and harmony of 
rich and beautiful schemes. For re- 
ligion, if it means anything, is not a 
hopeless form; religion means a spir- 
itual uplifting, and if we place faith 
on one side and hope before us, and 
follow with love, we add a fourth 
dimension of memory because, en- 
shrined in your hearts and mine, must 
ahvays be the memory of those we 
have lost.”

bee, of Marshalltown, three acres have 
been replatted, allowing no paths 
around burial lots, and 164 more lots 
is the result. At the meeting the board 
of directors spread upon the records a 
tribute of respect to the late Joseph H. 
Merrill, who died April 35th. He was 
chosen president of the association in 
1881, but failing health compelled his re- 
tirement on October 12, 1909. For 28 
years he was president, giving his time 
and services free of compensation, and 
the record bears witness to the high es- 
timation in which he was held by his 
associates and to his fine citizenship.
