One Of the finest and most appropriate
pieces Of monumental work in our cemetery
is that with which ex Gov. Holbrook has
recently marked his wifes grave in the
family lot, which lies on the brow Of the
bill looking north and west over the vii
lage, river, and distant hills. The material
is rarely choice selection Of Westerly
granite. The design is an urn richly cary
ed, aud standing on a die and base Of well.
chosen proportions. On the die the usual
mortuary record is engraved, while just
beneath, on the base, is this inscription
These green hills where thy childhood royed.
lon river wandering to the sea
All lovely things hy thee beloved
Seem sacred 20 thy memory"
To the personal friends of Mrs Holbrook il
need not be said how feicitous and happily
chosen is the sentiment embodied in these
words. The monument is the work of Car.
rick Bros. Of st. Johnsbury, who erected our
soldiers monument and who are now at
work on the Vermont monuments TO be
erected on the field Of Gettysburg.
