A T the intersection of Lincoln Ave-

there is quiet "City of Peace"

more than fifty acres. These are Gods
acres, and the calm. still city is known
as GIenwood, Within its sacred con-

known and dearest beloved citizens of
Washington.
GIenwood cannot be called an old
cemetery in comparison with Oak Hill.

ing grounds, but neither is it a new
graveyard. TO use those old expressions.
1t was incorporated by an act of Con-
gress approved about half a century
gone by. the original incorporators
being such well-known citizens as
Charles B. Calvert, George Parker, Will

William Phelps, William S. Humphreys,
and Randolph S. Evans.

And this calls to mind somewhat pa
thetic incident which occurred during
the dedication of the cemetery chapel
December 4, 1892. On that occasion the
well-known minister, Rev. Byron Sun
derland. who was then pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church, referred TO
the fact that on August 2; 1854, he de-
livered a poem as a part of the dedica-
ton exercises Of the cemetery. "On

erected by his comrades, depicts vigor-
ously the scene of his death under the
heavy running gear OF the car. It is
built of marble, deliberately inscribed,
and is inclosed in a triangular iron
fence, located Just next to the cemetery

Now all is changed. Glenwood only
remains. Moore's Lane is well-kept,
beautiful avenue, but it is Moore's Lane
no longer. The old cemetery lodge, with
the not very pleasant looking efIigy of
old Father Time with his scythe. has
been demolished. and in its stead there
is an imposing structure that fairly
challenges admiration.

The chapel in Glenwood has a seating
capacity of 400, and contains four cata-
