THEN and NOW IN KNOXVILLE’S MODERN CEMETERY 
Hare & Hare, Kansas City, Mo.), Green- 
wood began to clean up the undergrowth, 
build roads, put up fences, build an en- 
trance, plant rare and native trees and 
shrubs, with flowers of beauty, all ar- 
ranged under a well-studied plan. Today 
words could not convey to the readers just 
what has been accomplished, so these pic- 
tures are used to give a better idea of the 
results. 
The entrance, with its gateway, vine- 
covered pergola and ornamental planting, 
is characteristic of Mr. Hare’s ideal en- 
trance for cemeteries. “The first impres-- 
sion is the lasting one,” he repeats, and 
this first impression should express rest, 
protection, beauty. The gateway at Green- 
wood expresses all these. The entrance is 
constructed of beautiful Tennessee mar- 
ble. The office, not yet built, will stand 
Memory recalls the “graveyard” of days 
gone by, when graves were lost beneath 
the tangled growth of vines, shrubs, trees 
and weeds, but that day has gone by. To- 
day the cemetery that does not keep all 
graves green .does not have the patronage 
of those who have dear ones to lay away. 
Even perpetual care is not all that is 
asked for or deserved in our time, for 
the people expect that the cemetery be 
not only cared for, but that within its 
boundary lines nature is to be improved. 
A little touch here and there makes earth 
look better everywhere, and the cemetery 
must have its share. So the cemertery be- 
comes a “burial park,” with features that 
turn sorrow into joy and cause the pangs 
of death to seem less real. 
Greenwood Cemetery, Knoxville, Tenn., 
base made greater strides toward the ideal 
than has any Southern cemetery of which 
we know. It is our pleasure to show in 
photo reproduction the actual attainments 
in these grounds.
