Westlawn cemetery is a tract of six
ty-fve acres of ground, rolling and di.
versilied. Nature has been for the
most part undisturhed save for the
cOmplementing hand of art. The hill
locks. trees. streams and valleys form
pleasing and restful view. Tiny lakes
and dams and waterfalls. over which
are bridges and about which are drive
ways and walks, have been made by
the hand of man.
Near the main entrance TO this ceme-
terry in a private vault now rests the
body of William Mckinley. On guard
day and night are forty-five United
States regular soldiers. At the door of
the vault stands sentry with loaded
gun and fixed bayonet. On top of the
hillock which forms the rear of the
vault another soldier similarly equipped
keeps vigil.
Indeed the interior has been so ar
ranged as TO take away us much as
possible the appearance of the home of
the dead For the comfort Of Mrs. Nc

From this vault the remains of Nc.

further provides that there will be

trio railway line will carry people to
the very base OF the monument site.
As far as the funds will allow the
