improvement with in the past few
months. Persons who visited the plaot
year ago will remember II as spot
over grown with trees, and neglected
In mere ways than one. Bishop Becker
took the matter in hand and he has
wrought astriking change In the place.
The trees that formerly stood so thick
in the place, obstructing and damaging
the tombstones and monuments, have
all been cat away. Walks In different
parts have been cut out, and the spaces
between the lots have been cleared Of
under brush. In addition to this d new
and tasty wood fence has been put up
along the side facing Delaware
Avenue. The fence that separates the
grave yard from Wilmington and
Brandywine cemetery has been torn
down, and q wire fence put up, by
common consent. This looks much
better and is q great improvement. The
Bishop has certainly done most excel
liant thing in bringing about this i'm.
provement. Among the new monuments
which have been recently erected is q
very handsome one by Mr.. P. W.
Hochkeppel to the memory Of his wife.
It is one of the finest in the grave
yard, and the whole design is very
shaste and appropriate. 1t is made of
Italian mabls and has been lately cree.
