Fine Monumental Work.

Eally in the spring mention was made in
these columns of an excellent model of Capt.
J. s. Winslow, made by e. s Griffin of this
city, to be used 10 cutting monument for that
gentleman. The monument is now completed
and is 10 its place on Capt. Winslow's lot in
Evergreen Cemetery. The work was done by
Mr.. j ohm Bell at his yard at Stevens Plans
Good judges pronounce it the finest monument
in the state. It certainly far exceeds anything
else at Evergreen and it will be an honor both
to the name it perpetuates and to the skillful
workmen who carved its shapely proportions
The lot containing this monument is near the
main entrance to the cemetery, being one of
the best locations in the yard. The monument
is 18 feet in height and is framed Of eight
pieces of granite. The weight of the column
is % tons. 1t is made almost entirely of Hal
lowell granite of the finest quality. The base
is solid block of granite seven feet square
Next above this comes square granite block
D feet inches each way, and on the front the
name 81. S. Winslow" in large block letters,
polished so that they shine like silver. The
plinth next above is just five feet square and
on this rests the base of the die. The die is
three feet and half square and is supported
on each corner by columns of the beautiful
dark granite from Fox Island, polished down
as smooth as glass. Ga the facs of the die is
the following inscription:
PHILErA MORTON,
Wife of
J. S. Winslow.
1882. 1877.
Little Oracle.
These inscriptions are for Capt. Winslow's
wife and little daughter, who are buried on
this lot. Ga the opposite side of the die is a
crown and cross cut from the solid stone. Ga
another side is an anchor suspended by Q chain
as from the bow Of ship, while on still anoth-
or side is flag with the letter "W" upon it.
This is the flag of the firm of which Captain
Winslow is the head. The uppsr part of the
die is beautifully ornamented with scroll work.
The cap surmounting the die is four feet and a
half square. Upon this stands the figure of
Capt. Winslow, seven feet and half in height.
The figure is cut from solid block of granite
weighing six tons 10 the rough. The skillful
workmen have followed the model closely and
the enlarged form renders it more life like than
ever. The right arm falls carelessly by his
side while the left holds spyglass. The posi-
ton of the limbs are easy and natural and the
whole figure recalls Capt j. S. Winslow.
