The Old Latin Cross 
has appeared in many different forms. In Egypt it was the custom to 
carve a heart at the end of the base. A cross of this kind placed on the 
front of an Egyptian house signified that o dy good people lived there. 
Sometimes it was still further modified by adding another bar to the cross. 
And in the early days of our own country, when the Spaniards set out to 
establish a new Spain, they found there amid the relics of prehistoric 
races certain symbols that closely resembled the old Latin cross. 
The Hemphill Memorial sets forth the simple outlines of the Latin cross, 
lightened by a modest display of carved work. It belongs in our list of 
White Rutland Marble products. It was erected by M. J. Falvey, 
Washington, D. C.
