It is nicely located and neatly laid out; but grass and weeds grow rank and wild and the grounds present an appearance quite cut of keep ing with the purpose to which they are devoted and the veneration with which they are always regarded. If q few of the more prominent lot owners were to take the lead, the movement would be- come a success and the cemetery a cred it to the town.
