309 
of turning the Tod homestead, Youngs- 
town, O., into a park-like cemetery. The 
sum of $400,000 has been spent in laying 
out and beautifying the grounds, and 200 
burials have already been made there. 
Plans have been outlined by the trustees 
which will take years to cousummate. 
Geo. Tod left a tract of 260 acres to be 
divided into a cemetery and park, and the 
cemetery covers 150 acres of the higher 
ground. All the money received from the 
sale of lots is to be put back with the 
cemetery for its perpetual maintenance and 
improvements. Thirty-three acres are now 
being improved. 
Woodlawn Cemetery, Urbana, 111., is to 
have an Italian garden in the lower part 
and to he improved under expert advice. 
It is promised that the new Evergreen 
Cemetery, Louisville, Ky., is to be one of 
the finest in the state. The tract is 240 
acres in area, located on the Preston street 
road, just heyond Audubon Park. The plans 
for the entrance gates and buildings are 
well under way, and the planting schemes 
will have attention just as soon as spring 
opens. It is reported that the cemetery 
will be open for burials in the summer. 
Oakland Cemetery, Iowa City, la., is 
calling for enlargement, and the Commit- 
tee on Public Grounds and Buildings of 
the City Council has been instructed to 
take the matter up. 
Articles of incorporation were recently 
granted by the Secretary of State at 
Springfield, 111., to the Leroy Cemetery 
Association of Leroy ; incorporators, F. 
W. Wertner, O. P. Evans and O. L. Evans.

An ordinance granting a franchise for a 
cemetery to the Riverside Land Co. was 
filed last month at Spokane, Wash. A plat 
of the proposed cemetery is filed with the 
ordinance; it will be located a little to the 
north of the point at which Hangman 
Creek flows into the Spokane River and 
will run west to the county road sep- 
arating it from Greenwood Cemetery. 
The Forest Cemetery Association, of 
Olympia, Wash., has sold its cemetery to 
the Mt. Tabor Cemetery Association of 
Thurston County, which was organized 
recently. 
The commissioner of Ogden, Utah, has 
recommended that the city plat a new cem- 
etery ; the city cemetery is too near the 
business districts, and new grounds should 
be platted farther out. The receipts from 
all sources for the cemetery were $3,477.50, 
of which $2,450 was for sale of lots. The 
cemetery requires much work to keep it up. 
The members of St. Mary’s parish, Put- 
nam, Conn., have been advised that addi- 
tional land must be provided. St. Mary’s 
Cemetery has been in use for many years 
and very little ground remains unoccupied.

corporated for Waco, Tex., capitalized with

Foster.

embracing 218 acres of land and situated 
four miles from the center of San An- 
tonio, Tex., is to be established. A charter 
has been applied for the Roseland Ceme- 
tery Association, with a capital stock of 
$70,000. The incorporators are W. B. 
Mitchell, S. C. Bechtel, B. M. Hixson and 
Will A. Morriss. The property is known 
as the old Mitchell tract, on which there 
is an artesian well. A street car line now 
runs to within half a mile of the land. 
PERSONAL. 
The friends of Mr. H. M. Turner, su- 
perintendent of Roselawn' Cemetery, St. 
Paul, Minn., will, we are sure, be glad to 
participate with us in 
the pleasure which 
the following notice 
affords : “Mr. and 
Mrs. O. J. Nevins, of 
Northampton, Mass., 
announce the engage- 
ment of their daugh- 
ter, Bertha M. Ne- 
vins, of Salem, Mass., 
to H. M. Turner, su- 
perintendent of Rose 
Lawn Cemetery, St. 
Paul, Minn. The wed- 
ding will take place 
in March.” 
Mr. John L. RoBards, treasurer and 
secretary of the Mt. Olivet Cemetery As- 
sociation, Hannibal, Mo., had the appoint- 
ment by the citizens of Hannibal to devise 
the ways and means of securing a monu- 
ment to Mark Twain. He originated the 
method of Missouri state appropriation for 
the money and drafted the bill for the 
purpose. The bill was passed by an almost 
unanimous vote. Mr. RoBars writes that 
it was a labor of love, as Mark Twain and 
he were friends since 1843. 
H. J. Smith, the dealer in boughs, ever- 
greens and ferns for cemetery use, at 
Hinsdale, Mass., wishes to inform his 
patrons that he is not in the quarantined 
gypsy moth section. No moths, gypsy or 
brown-tailed, have been found in Hinsdale. 
In our January issue, in the description 
on page 284 of the front page illustration, 
the entrance gates to Highland Cemetery, 
Ypsilanti, Mich., credit for the gift, it ap- 
pears, should be given to Mrs, Lois Leetch. 
Mr. E. B. Voorhees, of Ovid, Mich., a 
nephew of the lady, kindly advises us of 
the error.
