splendid record Of South Dakota in

worthy tribute to the men, who
waiting not for the help Of the

Mausolenm of Big Stone Granite.

Big Stone Headlight: MIR. A.
Dewar, proprietor of the Big
Stone Granite Works, has just
completed a contract with the
Movius family, at Lidgerwood,
\. D., for the construction of a
mausoleum at the cemetery at
that place.
The structure will be compos-
ed of Big Stone granite exterior,
and marble lining, and will con-
tain four crypts, with room for
two others. The door will be Of
bronze. The contract amounts to
several thousand dollars. and
special granite will be quarried
to fill it
The Movius family lived at Big
Stone City from 1872 until about
twenty years ago DR.. Movius
was the first white settler in
this vicinity, and his first log
house was built not far from
f. w. Thorndike's buildings,
near the Minnesota river. The
sons all had prominent part in
the early history of the county,
and Miss Mary Movius was post
master here for a number of
years.
They have prospered in their
later location, but we have no
doubt but there is a touch of
sentiment, as well as business,
in the selection of the old red
granite Of their early home as
the material for the proposed
beautiful restlng-place for the
earthly tabernacle.
