ting in jeopardy the health or lives of 
the owners of the contiguous lands, 
and the health of their families, or 
unless the air would be contaminated, 
courts of equity will not interfere by 
the grant of injunctive relief to pre- 
vent the establishment and location 
of the cemetery.” 
The grounds of the Old Stroudsburg 
Cemetery, one of the spots of historic 
interest in Monroe county. Pa,, are 
maintained by a trust fund held for 
that purpose. Colonel Jacob Stroud, 
founder of the town, laid out the 
burial plot, which has been filled for 
half a century. 
It was up to the authorities of Pine 
Grove Cemetery, Lynn, Mass,, recent- 
ly, to refuse permission for the burial 
of “Barrie,” the aged household pet 
of a Lynn family, in a lot in that 
cemetery. This was a great disap- 
pointment to the owners. 
The Jeffery mausoleum in Kenosha, 
Wis., is one of the most substantial and 
well designed pieces of mausoleum con- 
struction in the west and has been 
given a good landscape treatment, as 
may be seen in the accompanying illus- 
tration. The structure was designed by 
Charles PI. Gall, of Chicago, and exe- 
cuted in Barre granite by Barclay 
Bros., of Barre, Vt., for the Morse 
Granite Co., of Kenosha, Wis. It is 
constructed of large massive stones and 
the interior is very elaborate and of 
highly polished Italian marble. Every- 
body connected with it was well satis- 
fied with the work. The principal di- 
mensions on the ground are 14-2 wide 
and 21-3 long; total height 17-2. The 
side wall stones are made solid in di- 
mension 12-10 long and 8-8 high. The 
rear wall stone is also one block and the 
rear window cut out of this solid stone. 
In fact, the object throughout in this 
design was to avoid joints as much as 
possible and to use large massive stones. 
Scarcely an}' joints are visible in the 
photo. 
The boards of directors of 16 St. 
Louis, Mo., cemeteries have indorsed 
the movement to abolish Sunday fu- 
nerals. The plan to abolish the Sunday 
funeral was started last September at 
the con\ention of the Missouri Ceme- 
tery Superintendents’ Association, and 
further action will be taken at a meet- 
ing of the association to be held the 
second Thursday in February, and pow- 
er will be given by the boards to act. 
The cemeteries included in the move 
are Bethania, Bethlehem, Concordia, 
Friedens, Greenwood, New Pickers, St. 
Peter's, St. John’s, Old St. Marcus, 
New St. Marcus, SS. Peter and Paul, 
St. Trinity, St. Matthews, Valhalia,

A fight over a new cemetery site, 
recently purchased by the City Council, 
of Vancouver, Wash., for $10,351,40, 
when one of the Councilmen was quar- 
ter owner of the tract, will be fought 
out in the Superior Court. A suit has 
been brought by Dr. A. B. Eastham, 
State Senator against D. F. Crandall. 
City T reasurer, and also cashier of the 
Vancouver National Bank, and the bank 
also is made defendant. The plain- 
tiff asks for an injunction to restrain 
the navment of the warrant held by the 
hank and asks that the warrant be de- 
clared null. Dr. Eastham is not acting 
for himself only, but for a number of 
interested taxpayers, who protest against 
having the cemetery bought in an al- 
leged illegal manner. The plot com- 
prises about 59 acres of logged-off land.

Forest Hills Cemetery, Chattanooga, 
Tenn., has discontinued Sunday funer- 
als, dating from January 1, 1912. A 
new road has been constructed in this 
cemetery to one of the “ridge” sec- 
tions, which unfolds some magnificent 
views, including Lookout Mountain and

Dr. George T. V’elch, of Paterson. 
N. J., plaintiff in an action against the 
Rosedale Cemetery Association and the 
Linden Crematory Association, both o^ 
L^nion County, has demanded an ac- 
counting from the officials of the two 
companies, in each of which he owns 
fifty shares. The two cemetery asso- 
ciations own adjoining cemeteries in 
Linden, Union county, and each is iden- 
tical with the other in the personnel of 
its stockholders and directors. Th*’ 
State law forbids one company from 
owning more than 135 acres of land for 
burial purposes. Welch alleges that no 
accounting has been rendered by the 
officials of the two companies during 
the last eleven years. He also insists 
that one-half of the receipts from the 
sale of lots be divided among the stock- 
holders as required by law. 
Fifty cents a year each for general 
improvement is allowed Fairview and 
Central Street cemeteries Tinder the will 
of Cynthia M. Gray filed at Plymouth. 
Mass.. Dec. 28. The will places the 
income of $100 at the disposal of the 
trustees of each cemetery for the care 
of family lots, but provides that fifty 
cents of such annual income may be 
used for general improvement of the 
cemetery. 
In a unique suit against the Pride of 
Boston, Mass., Cemetery Association 
and a woman named Annie Rubin, the 
complainant Anna Myerson alleges that 
Mrs. Rubin has buried her husband in 
a lot which she, the complainant, had 
purchased for herself for use when the 
time comes, and which is next to the 
lot in which her own husband lies 
buried. Since her rightful place be- 
side the body of her late husband has 
been usurped, she wants Mrs. Rubin
