The old sexton of the church, bent with
age, but in perfect harmony with the signs
of the past all around him, met the party
ut the rusty iron gate. He evidenced great
interest in plotting those present to the OBJ
jcct of their search, and in almost pathetic
language and with dolcful shakings of the
head said that very few people took the
trouble to look at the grave nowadays.
What lonely. deserted and neglected
appearance the grave of the famous actor
presented. The marble slab, discoored
and crumbled with age, was almost buried
beneath the leaves that had fallen from
the adjoining oak trees. 1t was but the
work of moment to brush them off; but
then 1T was no easy task to decpher the
inscriptions OH the tomb. They showed
that the dreary looking abode was the last
resting place of the tragedian's mother
and sister and other members of the fam
lily. The last entry on the marble block
was that of Forrest himself. His name,
date of his birth and dcath-nothing more;
nc epitaph. no inscription; nothing but the
plain fact that he had come into the worh
on certain day and had expired OH an
other day. For few years after his
death loving hands had annually placed
fragrant flowers on the tomb, but now the
historic spot is neglected in every sense of
the word.
Old st. Paul's, rs it is Familiarity known,
was for years the most influential Episco-
pal church in Philadelphia There is little
left of its FORMER grandeur ct the present
time. A large high sandstone wall, so
familiar and fashionable in the olden
times, still separates the churchyarxl from
the street. The venerable sexton, who
takes fatherly interest in the church and
its surroundings, still remembers the For
rest obsequies. 1t was ON dark and
dreary December day, he says, when the
funeral corteSc wound its way around
Walnut street and down Third to the
churchyard. There were delegations from
dramatic associations in various parts of
the country. There was II dcputation from
the LotOs club, of New York, made up of
its most prominent members, including
the mayor of New York. The plain black
casket contained n simple plate with the
name of the deceased actor inscribed upon
it. The pallbearers included the most
lllustrious men of the day. They were
James Page, one of the most prominent
lawyers and politicians of the time; Daniel
| Dougherty, the famous orator, he of the
silver tongue" John w. Forncy, the
celebrated journalist; Samuel d. Gross
| the eminent surgeon, and others.
The old graveyard, with it's historic
landmarks, is little thought of now 1t is
surrounded on all sides by railroad Of
fees, insurance exchanges or commercial
houses. Each one of these houses resem-
bles beehive, with its hundreds of busy
| employees. The only thought they bestow
on the venerable edtice, if any, is that it
stands in the way of possible business
improvements. All day long bankers,
brokers and merchants hurry to and from
their places of business, scarcely bestow-
ing glance on the old church and its his

foric treasures. Occasionally some pedes-
trian, more sentimental than his fellows,
stops and, walking up three stone steps
that lead to the graveyard, gazcs longing
ly and thoughtfully through the rusty iron
bars that separate him from the tomb of
Forrest and other Philadelphians of more
or less prominence
The Forrest home, where it is proposed
to remove the remains, would be an emf
nently appropriate spot. The large build
ings, with their spacious verandas, and the
great grounds, with their beautiful flower
beds and shady trees, would form fitting
backgrounds to the grave itself, which
could be located i'll a conspicuous spot.
The proposition that finds most favor is to
erect large, costly mausoeum, and to
place over it large marble bust of the
lead actor GEORGE BARTON.
