OAKwOoD CEMETERY. person who has
not visited this cemetery within the last
few months would hardly know the place
now. The grounds have been enclosed
with neat board fence, the walks ana
roads have been rcmodeled, and the many
natural beauties of the place are being de-
veloped. Mr.. n. NJ. Lee, the chairman OF
the Council committee on the cemetery,
and Mr.. Rcdford, the superintendent or the
grounds, arc using every endeavor 10 mas
ten the improvements; and we predict that
if they only receive proper support, we
will have another cemetery almost az beau
tiful and attractive az Hollywood. Already
many of our citizens have bought enclo-
surcs. and have fitted them with neat rail
inrs. In the eastern portion OF the
grounds is hillside which, when improved,
will be the most attractive portion OF the
cemetery. The Memorial Association Is
working well upon the soldiers graves.
MAY God speed these ladies in their noble
work. There are in the cemetery 10000
graves, 5000 of which are those of SOL
dicrs. Mr.. Redford has complete record
of the graves, from which any of the friends
or relatives ofthc lost ones can find where
they rest. The grounds are visited daily
by larger number Of ladies and gentle
men than we had any conception OF,
and if Mr.. Rcdlorl continues as untir!ng
in his lahors as he is now, the number will
be doubled, as will be the attractions, III
short time.
