Mr.. j. Frank Webb, the we'll

beautifully engraved in raised letters
is seven feet by three feet, by ten
inches. The whole tomb weighs over
ten thousand pounds. He has also had
erected over both his wife and child,
beautiful scroll tombs of the finest
blue westerly granite, and in the
same shipment came fine tomb for
the mother of Mrs. Wright, wife of
our well-known lumber merchant.
All the work is highly polished and
finished in the most artistic manner
and reflects great credit upon the
builder, Mr. David H. Burns, a we'll
known granite merchant of Chester,
Pa. Mr.. Burns, whose card appears
in another column, came here on
Tuesday with a force of his men and
erected the work. He was well-known

man. We are authorized to say that
Mr.. Webb is highly pleased with
