edly repealed by § 7 of the mortmain

a bequest to the vicar and church war- 
dens of a certain church, the income to 
be applied, inter alia, in the erection 
and maintenance of headstones to the 
graves of pensioners in almshouses at a 
certain place who should be buried in 
the churchyard, was held to be valid 
as being for repair of a churchyard. 
The failure of a testamentary provi- 
sion to conform to a statute authorizing 
the owner or owners of a cemetery to 
procure the appointment of a trustee 
who should be authorized to receive, 
invest, manage, and control moneys giv- 
en by way of permanent fund or en- 
dowment, the income of which should 
be applied to the use and maintenance 
of such cemetery, does not invalidate a 
perpetual trust for the maintenance of 
a public cemetery. 
In Wisconsin it has been held that un- 
der Section 2081, R. S. Chap. 290, laws 
of 1883, which provides that express 
trusts may be created for perpetually 
keeping in repair and preserving any 
tomb, monument or gravestone or any 
cemetery, to an amount not exceeding 
$2,000, a bequest within the amount 
named to a cemetery association for the 
purpose of assisting in building a chapel 
on or near the said association cemetery 
ground but in case such chapel should 
not be built then upon condition that 
the association devote the annual inter- 
est arising from the legacy to the im- 
provement of the cemetery grounds, is 
valid. Webster vs. Morris (1886) 66

FINE GRANITE EXEDRA WITH DELICATE CARVING 
The Vanderlip memorial exedra 
illustrated on this page is in a 
number of respects one of the most in- 
teresting private memorials in the coun- 
try, and the decorations on it are 
regarded as among the most delicate 
carvings ever executed in granite. 
This memorial was executed for 
Frank A. Vanderlip, of New York, to 
be erected in memory of his parents in 
West Aurora Cemetery, near Chicago, 
111. Mr. Vanderlip was assistant secre- 
tary of the treasury in the McKinley ad- 
ministration. He is now president of 
the New York Clearing House and also 
president of the National City Bank of 
New York. He has traveled extensively 
all over the world, and has collected many 
rare art treasures. The models of the 
carving on this memorial were taken 
from an old Italian altar. Mr. Vander- 
lip purchased this altar while aboard 
and had it shipped to his country place, 
and the models were made from the 
original. The monument itself was de- 
signed under the direction of Albert 
Wahle, of New York, and was executed 
in Winnsboro blue granite by Benisch 
Bros., of Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr. Vander- 
lip’s original intention was to have this 
work cut in marble, as he did not think 
that the work could be produced in 
granite, but it has turned out with per- 
fect success in every detail. Some of 
the mouldings are very small fillets % 
in. and beads 3/16 in. The carving in 
the panels is among the most delicate 
ever done in granite. This monument 
is made in four pieces, base, die and 
two cheeks. The cheeks have been 
hewn out of a solid block. They are 
housed into the die, thus eliminating all 
vertical joints. 
The builders are justly proud of the 
work.
