A most distinctive and beautiful example 
of the imposing architectural type of mon- 
umental tablet is illustrated in the "Grimes- 
HcCann"’ memorial, the work of Kimball 
Brothers, of Lincoln, Neb. The buttresses 
bearing the decorative vases have been 
merged into the design in a thoroughly 
structural manner and add a massive 
strength and character to a tablet of dig- 
nified and graceful lines. The dimensions 
of this are: Base, 5-0xl-8.x0-10 ; die, 4-Sx 
l-3x5-8. It was cut in Barre granite by 
Rossi & Casellini, Barre, Vt. 
.■\ sculptured monumental tablet that 
shows distinction and originality in several 
respects is seen in the “Woltersdorf” mon- 
ument illustrated. This memorial was de- 
signed by the purchaser, and models for 
the delicately relieved symbolic figures were 
made by Richard Bock, the Chicago sculp- 
tor. The figures symbolize Memory and 
Reverence, and a portrait medallion also ap- 
pears. The background of the figures is a 
conventionalized Wistaria vine, treated ar- 
chitecturally and consistently with the refrac- 
tory qualities of the granite, which is pink 
Westerly. Another unusual feature of this 
memorial is that the markers are cut solid 
with the base, and are so managed as not 
to detract from the general effect of the 
work. This memorial was erected by 
Charles G. Blake & Co., of Chicago, and 
was e.xecuted in their planf. 
An architectural form of unusual char- 
acter and interest is illustrated in the “Hill” 
memorial, embodying a complete pediment 
in carefully executed detail, flanked by 
wings terminating in decorative vases. It 
is a memorial of rare sturdiness and dig- 
nity typical of the forceful character of 
the man it memorializes, the late John A. 
Hill, of the Hill Publishing Co., the found- 
er of one of the greatest trade paper pub- 
lishing houses in the country. It was 
erected in Rosedale Cemetery, East Orange, 
N. J.. by McDonnell & Sons, of Buffalo, 
and cut by them in Barre granite at their 
Barre (Vt.) plant. It has a base measure- 
ment of 13-2x3-2 on the ground and a 
total height of 6-9. This is one of Mc- 
Donnell & Sons’ original designs and ha= 
been copyrighted. 
The low tablet form is probably the one 
most popular type of recent development 
for the small memorial, and a number of 
fine examples of \arious styles of treatment 
are illustrated. The ''Mills" is an unusual- 
ly original form embodying a cross in re- 
lief and pylons at either end that sugeest 
its triple character as a cross and double 
tablet. It is the work of Lloyd Brothers 
Co., of Toledo, and is of Westerly granite, 
6-6x1 -8 at the base and 4-2 high. 
-Another very fine type of the low tablet 
form of memorial is illustrated in the 
“Foster” monument, erected by the Chas. 
H. Grant Granite Co., of Brattleboro, Vt. 
The “Foster" is of blue-white Westerly 
granite. /„ /,«
