J. Stephens, in Crown Hill Cemetery, In-

Frederick C. Hopton, four years gar- 
dener at Homewood Cemetery, Pittsburgh, 
a young man of barely 30 years, has been 
appointed superintendent of Westview 
Cemetery, a Jewish burial ground on .the 
North Side, Pittsburgh, Pa. The direc- 
tors intend to modernize the cemetery. 
Mr. Hopton took charge on April 1. 
Superintendent Charles Brandon, who 
has been with the Green Park Cemetery 
Association, Portland, Ind., for the past 
four years and who contributed very 
largely to the beauty of the grounds, re- 
cently resigned to take up other work at 
Toledo, Ohio. The board of directors se- 
lected Merle R. Jack, of Portland, to take 
his place. He is getting the streets in 
condition and cleaning up the grounds from 
the winter’s decay. A wealthy citizen, Mr. 
J. W. Polley, died recently, and his re- 
mains are in the public vault at present ; 
as soon as the weather settles his widow 
expects to build a private mausoleum in
