An Ornamental Grave Lining. 
The illustration herewith, which ex- 
plains itself, shows Knarr’s Patent Orna- 
it can be used on a hill side as well ns on 
level ground, and, moreover, it enn read- 
ily be handled by one man. The frame 
makes a complete finish around a grave, 
which it fits neatly and prevents from cav- 
ing in. In cemeteries where graves tire 
usually lined the use of this apparatus wil[ 
modify many inconveniences. 
Two sizes of these linings are made to 
adjust to a rough box from 3 to 5 or from 
5 to 7//J feet. 
It is constructed of poplar and chest- 
nut, in a thorough and durable manner. 
The knobs, adjustable screws, tie rods, 
butts and bouquet vases are made of brass, 
triple plated. The frame and panels are 
finished with nine coats of paint. 
The Manager of Circle Hill Cemetery, 
Punxsutawney, Pa., says after using 
Knarr’s Patent Grave Lining: “Knarr. 
the inventor of the grave lining made a 
rough set of lining about two years ago 
and placed them in Circle Hill Cemetery, 
and I am safe in saying that we lined in 
the last eighteen months at least 90 per 
cent, of the graves opened in our ceme- 
tery, and the people did not object to pay- 
ing the extra charge for lining the grave. 7 ' 
mental Grave Lining, placed about a 
grave complete and ready for a funeral. 
In operation it takes but a few moments 
to adjust it to any size of rough box, and 
It is manufactured by the Ornamental 
Grave Lining Co., Punxsutawney, Pa., 
from whom any further particulars may 
be obtained.
