IDEAL BURIAL PLACE

uigger's charges and flowers is ap-
pFoXlmately $500. And how many
ialhliles are prepared to meet this
inevitable financial burden, or who
for 1t? $500 """'soe''i
a surprisingly large number nj
people nave not even given serious
.nought to the selection OF burial
pace, ana still greater number do
not own a burial site. AS all must,
soon or later. be buried, why would
!. not be good plan to have the fam
ny plot selected in advance, beautify
II and have 1t ready to receive the
Dodles OF your loved ones?
In order to help meet the prob
lem and provide burial ground at a
price within the reach of the people
OF moderate means, the Hepzibah
cemetery Company was recently or
ganized with J. f. Ritter, president:
hugh j. Lyon. vice president; ]. |.
Alexander, secretary; Ed J. Stout,
treasurer; and Carl Lyon, manager.
Tor the purpose OF developing a mod
ern cemetery at the historic old Hep
zioah church, located on the traction
line four miles north of Clarksburr,
The grading and improvements
nave heen completed and this COM
pany Will soon place ESQ very desIr-
aple burial plots on the market at
prices ranging from $50 to 800.
1t would be difficult to find a more
Ideal location anywhere for a Gem
etery. 1t is at the upper end of a
beautiful little vale, on a gentle slope
adjoining grove of stately oaks
winch cluster about the old Hepzibah
church, where many of our sturdy
forebears attended worship three
score and more years ago, some OF
whom are peacefully sleeping in the
church yard alongside the new Gem
etery, which faces the rising sun and
mas perfect natural drainage.
Those who have been exposed to
severe storms while performing the
last sad rites over the dead in cent
eteries remote from shelter, will ap-
preciate the hospitable shelter of the
friendly church whose doors are
open TO ali.
The Hepzibah cemetery Is only
fifteen minutes ride on the traction
line from the interurban station at
Clarksburg, and the regular fare is
ten cents. The traction company
Will run special funeral car from
Clarksburg, or any other point with
in the ten cent fare limit, to the cenl-
etcry and return for SIS, which is
great saving over the cost OF car
riages, even to tho nearest cemetery,
and IS much more comfortable and
convenient. 1t will stopt at the en-
trance of the church and cemetery.
Another very attractive feature Of
fered by this company to its patrons
is that there will be a a clause insert
ed in the decd to every lot, stipu-
/ laung that trust fund will be pro-
vided, the income from which Is to
/ be used for the upkeep of the cem-
etery, which will be sufficient to in
sure the ccmetery's being kept in
proper condition for all time to come,
as the principal cannot be used for
any other purpose whatsoever. 1t
will be ample to keep the cemetery
nicely sodded. properly fenced and
/ provide suitable ornamental trees.
/ The company expects to run free
excursion to Hepzibah at an early
date in order to give those interested
an opportunity to see this desirable
property and secure burial sites in a
beautiful cemetery at a saving from
/ $50 to 500 on each lot, under the
prevailing prices for the cheapest
lots in the old cemeteries here.
