CEMETERY NOTES 
( Continued from page 626 ) 
Some months ago the city council 
of Waukesha, Wis., passed a resolu- 
tion ordering the purchase of thirty- 
three acres of land which joins the 
Prairie Home Cemetery on the south, 
this land to be used for burial pur- 
poses also. As this land belonged to 
the state it was necessary for the leg- 
islature to pass a bill authorizing the 
sale. 
The Sumter Cemetery Association, 
Stimter, S. C., has added 13 acres to 
its holdings for future burial purposes. 
The Board of Managers of Crown 
Hill Cemetery, Indianapolis, Ind., will 
prepare the land north of the present 
its holdings for future burial purposes. 
Old Oakwood Cemetery, Richmond, 
Va., is to be enlarged by the purchase 
by the city of some 65 acres of ground 
at a cost of $53,800. This will almost 
double its present area. 
The beautiful chapel in Fairview 
cemetery, Chicopee, Mass., which has 
been erected as a memorial to its 
giver, Mrs. Sarah E. Spaulding, was 
recently turned over to the city and 
formally dedicated with appropriate 
ceremonies. Mrs. Spaulding, at her 
death, left $12,000 for the erection of 
such a chapel, as she had always felt 
that the cemetery was lacking in ap- 
propriate conveniences for funeral 
ceremonies, and the chapel has just 
been completed. It is of Grecian de- 
sign, with a number of very hand- 
some stained glass windows. It has 
a seating capacity of about 100, and 
is 48 by 28 feet. 
Contracts have been awarded for 
the building of a reinforced concrete 
wall, seven feet high, around three 
sides of the old Mortimer Cemetery, 
Hartford, Conn., which for years has 
lain in utter neglect. On the fourth 
side, fronting Liberty street, an iron 
picket fence will be built, with se- 
cure iron gates which will be kept 
locked in future. 
Under instructions from the office 
of the quartermaster general of the 
United States army at Washington, 
plans and specifications will be at 
once prepared for the cutting of an 
archway in the wall which divides 
the Confederate and National ceme- 
teries and for extensive improvements 
in the grounds of the former at 
Springfield, Mo. A gateway from six- 
teen to eighteen feet in width will be 
made midway of the dividing wall. 
The confederate cemetery is to be 
improved. 
An artificial lake is to be construct- 
ed in Melrose (Mass.) cemetery.
