from the cemetery and taken to Everett
phillips's carpenter shop, where they
were cleaned carefully and thoroughly,
special attention being given to the
cracks i'll the stones where the constant
exposure to the weather had split them.
4 wooden form was then made, some
what larger than the dimensions of the
stone TO be treated The inside width
of the form was two and one-half inches
wider than the width of the stone. The
inside of the form was then lined wit
metal, preferably zinc. so that the stone
when finished would be perfectly smooth.
At the end of the form where the top of
the stone came. the zinc carefully was
made to conform to the shape of the
stone, which in some cases IS semi
circular and in others leaf-shaped. Here
again it may be mentioned that zine is
the metal more desirable for use because
of its pliancy.
The stone itself was laced on the sides
and back with quarterback galvaniz
ron cellar window mesh which formed
reinforcement for the rolled edges and
the back of the stone. \ quantity of ce
ment and n very fine grade of sharp sand
was mixed and put into the form to the
depth of two inches. Upon this cement
mixture the marker was placed face rp
The marker was then 'puddled' into the
cement until il squeezed up between the
,sidS and top of the stone and the form
More cement was added to the sides and
top wherever needed so as TO provide
enough cement for a one and one-half
inch bead around the stone edge of the
face%except at the bottom. As the cement
hardened. the bead was more perfectlv
shaped BY piece of wood at one end of
which was cut circular design. B.
passing this design around on the bead
of cement as it dried, perfect outline
WIS obtained.
Each stone was similarly treated. it
being incased in cement sufficiently deer
so that when placed back in the ground
tho cement portion extended six inches
below the surface of the dirt.
