was the only way in which fund
could be secured for the future care of
the cemetery. In 1900 this was made
obligatory for all sales OF lots. BY
this plan a certain amount of the pur-
chase money for every lot is set apart
in a separate fund, aid is to be kept
drawing interest for all time to come,
the interest to be used for the care
and improvements of the lots. Thus
the lot owner is relieved from any
future expense, and is assured that his
lots will be cared for after he is dead.
The landscape plan is adopted in
this cemetery, as we'll as by all promi-
nent cemeteries in this country. The
superintendent is a member of the
National Society of Cemetery Superin-
tepdents, and embodies in his work of
adjoining the grounds all the latest
ideas gained from the experience OF

Gen. Matthews made a claim ad-
joining the South Bend townsite and
comprising what is now Riverside
park. He built a log house at the foot
of the hill which is still known as
Matthews hill, where he lived a
bachelor life for several years. II was
half way house between Mankato
and South Bend. Matthews was noted
for his hospitality, and he always
kept supply of free whisky and to-
bacco, so it was next to impossible
for our pioneers to pass without stop
ping. He had also the only we'll of
water in that region, which was
handy for those who liked their
whisky diluted.
One anecdote must close this sketch.
Matthews had timber land on his
claim, and having cut lot of wood
he corded it up on the river bank to
sell 1t to steamboats,. One day boat
came up the river, and being out of
wood, the captain bargained with the
general for few cords, trading with
him therefor barrel of smoking to-
bacco. Some days afterward Matthews
went down to his wood yard, and
found lot more of wood had been
taken away and another barrel of to-
!. bacco left on the bank. He hauled
the tobacco up to his. house and stood
it under a shed, where he invited all
passers by to stop and fill their
pockets. But he was obliged to put ur
a sign on the river bank to notify
steamboat captains that his terms
were cash. No more wood for to.

MANKATO CEMETERY ASSN.
Organized in 1909 by Members of
the Board of Trade.

The Mankato Cemetery association
was incorporated July Is, 1869. The
only public cemetery in Mankato at
that time was the Rural Grove ceme-
terry at the lower end of the town, on
land now owned by Joseph Schlinger-
man. 1t was small cemetery, too small
for growing city and was moreover
becoming dilapidated from want OF
care, there being no sufficient fund to
keep it IL repair.
The move for new cemetery or
iginated in the Board of Trade, and
resulted in the formation of corpor-
alton. A committee was appointed to
select ground. This committee con-
sisted of L. s. Davies, VIM. F. Lewis.
John N. Hall, g. P. Hawley, and @.
V. McGraw. Mr.. McGraw was the
active member of this committee, and
deserves the credit of discovering the
excellent location of the present ceme-
terry. 1t was at first proposed to pur-

A Worthy Pioneer of South Bend.


Lyman Mathews called
Gen. MatUhews-one Of the pioneers
of South Bend, came up the river in
the summer of 1858 in the steamer
Clarion, in company with D. G.
Evans and other prospective settlers.
After a long and perilous voyage
among snags and sand bars, they
reached Aug. 1, point little below
Mankato, beyond which it was impos-
sible to go on account of low water so
the rest of the journey was made on
foot. The captain was interested in
the new townsite claim of South Bend,
which he wanted to see and he invit-
ed Mr.. Evans and the general to &C
company him. Passing through Man
hato they soon reached the Blue
Earth. which they were obliged to
ford The captain being lame hest
tated about crossing the river, but
as he had promised our friends an in
terest in his TOWNSHIP, Gen. Matthews
volunteered to carry him over on his
back. The captain mounted and they
entered the river, but when the deep
est water was reached the general
stopped, telling the captain that he
was heavier than he thought and he
would have to put him down and rest.
The captain hoooed and ranawad his
promise about the townsite, SO the
general proceeded and delivered hin
safely on the other side. The captain
kept his promise. They found the
captains claim shanty in charge Of
his nephew, Thomas Lamoreaux, who
was the first white settler on the wes
bank of the Blue Earth.

nASONIC LODGE.
First Meeting Held in a Log
Building in 1880.

The illustrious Goethe in his poem
called "Mason Lodge said:
The mason's ways are
A type of existence.
And his persistence
Is as the days are
OF men in this world
Wherever civilized men live there is
likely to be Masonic lodge. So it is
not surprising that in 1856 only three
years after Msnkato began to exist as
town. a Masonic lodge was formed,
which after passing the usual period
of probation under dispensatiou
from the Grand Master. was duly
chartered in January, 1867, and took
it's place among the lodges as Manksto
lodge No. 10, and with the persistence
spoken of by the poet has lasted to
this day, and bids fair to last to the
end of time.
Mankato Lodge held its first meet
ing July 1st, 1855 in Wardlaws' store,
the site of which is on Front street
nearly opposite the National Citizens
bank. 1t very soon moved, however,
to Isaac Marks store, log building
on the corner of Second and Hickory
streets, on the ground now occupied
by the ruins of the Young Mems In
vestment Compsny's building. For
several months they met there in the
low rooted loft over the store room in
quarters which the mason of the pres
ent day would hesitate to provide for
his horse, but which were just then
the best they could obtain. In Sep
TENDER, 1857, they moved into the city
hall. The building bearing this digni-
fed name was a two story frame
structure on the site now designated
as No. 314 South Front street. 1t was
then occupied in its lower story as
general store by Kitchin brothers, ane
later as a hardware store by John f
Meagher. The whole second stor.
was hall used for church services
lectures. concerts and public meeting
or all Q6SCrlpClOuS.
This was only temporary location
however, for the lodge was alread
looking with longing eyes upon tn
new stone building then nearing com
pletion on block ID, opposite the levee
in the very center of business; alto
gether the most eligible site in th
whole town 1t was a three-stor
building too, which gave it a metro
politan air. Lodges in large cite
met in third stories and why not Maj
kato lodge. So they made contra
with White g. Marks, the owner
finished the third story with appr
pirate rooms, and moved in Nov. l
1867. The lodge remained in tn
building until December 1877, when
took up it's abode in the presel
Masonic hall, lease of which hi
been obtained for ninety nine years.
