Grave Filling Device.
A device for use in constructing
graves, the invention Of Henry D..
Cameron, of Burlington, Iowa, is de-
signed to fill the grave with earth after
the coffin has been lowered, and to
conceal as far as possible the actual
throwing Of tie dirt upon the coffin,
the most trying termination OF the
grave ceremony to the bereaved
mourners. It consists Of receptacle,
with detachable sides and bottom, and
a gate in the latter SC arranged as to
be capable of being opened to allow
the contents to fall. The front Is a
flexible curtain, extending from the
top to the gate, and designed to pre-
vent the earth within from being seen.
This receptacle is filled with earth
previous to the ceremony and carried
to a convenient point. When all is
over and the grave is to be filled, the
receptacle is placed over 1t, and the
gates opened, thus gently closing the
last sad scene in a much more fitting
manner than the seemingly cold
hearted return of the earth with .
vpade.
