handkerchief several childrens dresses,
etc, a copy of the Athens Record of
the date of May 80, addressed to Theo

The Marathon County Granite Co. at
present is working quarry about four
miles northwest of the old Single mill
on Rib river. The granite in this ledge
is of dark gray color and is pro-
nounced by experts to be fully good
as The red granite qGarried at Granite
Heights Samples have been sent to
Madison for a test with the result that
reports have been made,showing that it
is almost free from iron, an ingredient
which soon discolors tombstone.
There is said TO be an inexhaustible
supply of this stone in that section and
Marathon county is bound to become
famous for two kinds of granite which
is rarely possible in one section. The
granite secured in the town of Stettin is
made up largely of quartzte, mixed
with stone of jet black color. The
ledge has been worked int short time
and few tombstones of that kind have
been placed in the Wausau cemetery.
However the granite is receiving wide
demand. # resembles the world famed
Quincy granite in color and grain.
