- Many of those who were with us and enjoying the scenes of
life a year ago now sleep
- in the silent city. Each year sees an increase in the number
of mounds in Maple Hill Cemetery. For all of us it is a hallowed
spot, for there rest many of our loved ones, our friends.
- This ought to be made the most beautiful part of our city,
for in a peculiar sense it
- belongs to each one of us.
- During the year just closed there were forty-six interments
made in the city's cemetery.
- In accordance with our custom we publish their names.
