NEW CEMETERIES 
The Polish National Cemetery As- 
sociation, of Milwaukee, Wis., has se- 
cured an option on a forty-acre site 
on the Hawley road, a mile and a half 
from the city. 
The Polish Catholics of Manchester, 
N. H., have purchased twenty-three 
acres of land adjoining St. Joseph’s 
cemetery to be used by them as a 
cemetery. A portion of St. Joseph’s 
cemetery was set apart for the burial 
of the Polish people, but in recent 
years their number has grown so that 
it became imperative that they should 
have a cemetery of their own. 
The New St. Peter’s Cemetery at 
Alton, 111., was dedicated September 
22. Rev. Henry Meyer delivered a ser- 
mon in German and was followed by 
Rev. August Merz in English. 
CEMETERY REPORTS 
The Baltimore Cemetery, Baltimore, 
Md., has recently issued a pamphlet un- 
der date 1912, containing Charter and 
Regulations of the Cemetery. The cem- 
etery is situated in the northeastern sec- 
tion of the City, directly facing North 
Ave., east of Gay St., just within the 
city limits. It exists under a Perpetual 
Charter, granted by the Legislature of 
the State of Maryland, at the Decem- 
ber session of 1849, and the section of 
the charter especially forbidding the 
opening of streets through the cemetery 
was ratified by ordinance of the City 
Council of Baltimore, April 22, 1870. 
There are now 21,000 lots platted which 
contain over 75,000 interments. The 
managers continue to urge the lot own- 
ers to make provision for perpetual 
care, and notice was served prior to 
January 1, 1911, that all lots sold after 
that date would be subject to the care 
of the company, either perpetual or an- 
nual. This was later modified so that 
all lots sold after July 2, 1912, are 
sold under Perpetual Care stipulations. 
The pamphlet contains full information 
or. Rules and Regulations of the Balti- 
more Cemetery, Rules Concerning In- 
terments ; Repairs and Attention to 
Lots; Monuments, Tombstones, etc.; 
Use of the Mausoleum ; Visitors, the 
Acts of Incorporation and the City Or- 
dinance. 
THE COVER ILLUSTRATION 
The entrance gates shown on the 
cover of this issue, were designed 
and erected by the Stewart Iron 
Works Co., of Cincinnati, six years 
ago for the St. Joseph’s Cemetery, 
Cincinnati, Ohio, along with 3,200 
lineal feet of Iron Fence. 
The fence was constructed of J^-in. 
square forged pointed pickets spaced 
5 inches apart, carried by two rails, 
the top being 2 x 5Js-in. channel, the 
bottom being 2-in. x 2-in. x 
angle, made in panels approximately 
eight feet long, supplied with line 
post 1-in. square, %-in. brace and 
ground foundations. 
The double gates are 16 feet 0 inch 
wide by 8 feet 0 inch high. The walk 
gates 5 feet 0 inch wide by 8 feet 
0 inch high. These gates were con- 
structed of very heavy material and 
are about as handsome a set of gates 
as have been made in recent years. 
St. Joseph’s Cemetery is one of the 
leading cemeteries of Cincinnati and 
it is known as one of the prettiest 
cemeteries in the country.
