thoroughfare monument marking
the resting-place of the late William
Ward, of this place, which, as work
Of art, is not excelled in that city o.
the dead. Others are more imposing
but in style and finish this is proba'
bly, superior. 1t is a beautiful tribute
to the noble man whom it commem.
CRATES. We will detail its parts as
follows:

feet square, 81 inches high, beveled
and washed.
Sub -Base.-Block 26 inches square,
10 inches high; containing upon ite
western face the name, Ward" in
strong raised Gothic characters.

Ward" in Roman, "Born Feb. 13,
1912. Died March 2, 1875" in back
slope Italic, "Sweet be thy Rest, my
Darling Husband.
SHAFT Base,-l8 inches square, IL
inches high; mounted at the bottom
by moulding top by scotia face by
open book, turned leaf, bearing the
words, "Jesus is thy Sun thy Centre
and thy Shield-Omnipotence."
Shqh.-7 feet high-an obelisk IL
inches square at the base, 9 at the top
surmounted by cap IA inches square,
l2 inches high.
Draped Urm.-2l inches high, eli
max of monument; rests upon shaft
cap; drapery sweeps around western
face and falls prettily over the ham
dies to the other side.
The total height is II feet, and, ex-
cepting the sandstone base, the struc-
ture is made of pure italian marble.
Every piece is highly polished the
lettering skillfully executed, and the
proportions faultless. In short, it is
in its entirety unmarried by the
slightest defect.
Probably the most pleasing circum-
stance to note with regard to the exc
cution of this job is the fact that it lie
wholly the achievement Of a aFrostbure
artist, Mr.. Henry Williams, On this
account, as well as noting the tribute
thus paid the memory of Mr.. Ward
it gives us unusual pleasure to de-
scribe, inadequately it may be, this
superb result of the force of home
talent and home industry. Let al
see the monument and determine fol
themselves how needless it is to send
away for work that can be as well, i
not better, executed at home.
