"A handsome red Scotch granite
monument has recently been erected in
our cemetery to the memory of the late
Anthony Allen. 1t is beautiful round
column surmounted with massive cap
and neat urn. The job was put up by
Mr.. George Dodds, of Xenia, who has
the most extensive granite and marble
works in Central Ohio. This fine piece
of work is not only a credit to Mr.,
Dodds, but indicates good taste in Mrs.
Allen and her son who erected it. Mr..
Dodds keeps fine selection of granite
and marble monuments on hands, and
those who intend to purchase should see
his stock soon, as there will be an adj
vance of 20 per cent. in the Spring.
