Superintendent W. H. Heald is to
be highly commended in his pains
taking efforts for the beauty and in
Sterests Of the cemetery. The follow
ing in part Is taken from his report !:
In the fall of 1905, acting under
suggestion of President Patten, three
new flowerbeds were laid out, and
this spring, just before Memorial day,
the beds we're set with geraniums,
cannas and pansies, and proved an at
traetive addition to the beauty of the
cemetery during the whole year. At
the time of beginning work in the
spring there were four bodies in the
tomb, and during the year there have
been twenty six interments. OF this
number 13 have died in the Springs,
four in Stafford outside the borough,
and nine outside the town-one in
Northampton. one in Ellington, one
in Wilmington, one in Boston, one in
Everett, one in Springfield, two in
Westfield and one in Union. At the
present time there ara three bodies in
the tomb-E. E. Butterfield and
George Siswiok, who died in the
Springs, and John M. Horniss, who
| died at Narragansett Pier, RI. Dur
ing the year there have been several
lots sold as follows: J. H. Reed,
Orcutt & Meyers, Mrs. William
Royce, W. d. Graves, Rev. s. o. Ben
ton, Henry Knapp, John Schmidt and
George Lucas. The amount received
for perpetual care of lots should be
noted with more than passing com
ment by all interested in the associ :
alton. Although the amount required
as deposit for this care is q little
above the amount required to yield
an interest equal to the amount
charged for annual care, the sooner
the parties make this deposit so much
sooner will the amount received &C.
cumulate sufficiently for extra work as
provided by the perpetual care agree
ment. We now have seventeen lots
in the perpetual care list and the
matter is being considered by several
parties. During the year the follow
ing have been added to the list ot
perpetual care: J. R. Sibley, Orrir
Converse, T. O. Lathrop, Lathrop 6
Williams, Mrs. Susan Coleman anC
j. J. Ellis. Perhaps next to this
matter in Importance is the increasing
number who are in the list of annual
care. During the past season II lott
were cared for by the association IN
der this class. The wide. reputation
this cemetery is receiving for being
we'll cared for is largely due to the
pride of the several lot owners, il
either the perpetual or annual care
department.. One encouraging feature
is that each year some of the annua
care patrons make their deposit fol
perpetual care, and those who ART
neglecting their lot see the adjoining
lot in trim shape and deoide to hav'
their lot taken care of.
