PARK AND CEMETERY. 
County and took part in the early develop- 
ment of that section. He moved to Chi- 
cago, 111., in 1888, and March 1, 1889. was 
appointed superintendent of Oakvood Cem- 
etery. His work here brought him into in- 
timate contact with other cemetery man- 
agements and he became active in the As- 
sociation of American Cemetery Superin- 
tendents. He was called to Rochester, N. 
Y„ in 1893', to develop the newly projected 
Riverside Cemetery. Here, on the banks 
of the Genessee River, he landscaped one 
of the country’s most beautiful cemeteries 
and the first large one to be entirely laid 
out on the lawn plan. 
In 1901 he went to Syracuse, N. Y., to 
lay out and manage the new Morningside 
Cemetery. Out of poorer natural material 
he here did his best work and embodied 
in it his ideas of what a cemetery should 
be. His often expressed desire to be 
buried here has been carried out. 
Mr. Shepard resigned as superintendent 
of Morningside Cemetery in 1906 to devote 
himself to general landscape work, but 
cemeteries seemingly had an attraction for 
him, for he shortly went to Newark, N. J., 
to construct the new Ridgelawn Cemetery. 
Illness forced him to give up this work in 
June, 1907, and he returned to Syracuse. 
Under the name of J. H. Shepard & Son 
he, with Charles H. Shepard, who had as- 
sisted him in laying out Morningside Cem- 
etery, engaged in general landscaping. This 
business will be continued by his son. Mr. 
Shepard was employed as consulting land- 
scape architect by several cemeteries other 
than those mentioned, and in them are 
many enduring monuments of his artistic 
abilities. He always strove for bold and 
vigorous effects. He loved best the native 
trees and shrubs and paid unusual attention 
to autumn and winter effects 
THE COVER ILLUSTRATION. 
The very ornamental design of double 
entrance gates and single walk gates 
shown on the front cover is the work of 
The Stewart Iron Works Co., Cincinnati, 
O. The large square newel posts are espe- 
cially appropriate to use in connection with 
these massive gates. The entire scroll 
work is very elaborately and artistically 
done, evidently by skilled craftsmen in 
fashioning beautiful gates and fences of 
wrought iron. ’ That a trained force and 
thoroughly equipped factory are necessary 
to the production of this high-class orna- 
mental work is a certainty. While the 
small sections of fence portray inadequate- 
ly the richness of the design and the sub- 
stantial character of the construction, the 
harmonious blending of the filigree work 
with that of the gates is quite noticeable. 
Gates and fence of this construction add 
both dignity and protection to any ceme- 
tery, park or playground. Detail specifica- 
tions and blueprints of material will be 
supplied interested parties by The Stewart 
Iron Works Co., Cincinnati, 0.
