Historical and Descriptive Sketch of Cedar Hill Cemetery

HE purpose of Cedar Hill Cemetery is to pro- vide a place of sepulture in harmony with the promise of rest and peace for the dead, satisfac- tory to the most cultivated taste of the living and made forever secure as a sacred trust in the care of a perpetual corporation. This ideal the modern cemetery has sought to realize. It can only do so under certain conditions. A tract of land must be purchased, having a considerable extent, located near the city and convenient of access, but protected from all encroach- ments of the future, amid rural surroundings, with proper soil, and offering in its natural advantages an opportunity for the landscape architect to produce with earth, rock, water, and wood those beauties which have ever made nature the temple of God. These are essential elements. If, in addition to them, the place affords those extensive scenic effects of hill and valley which awaken a sense of vastness and sublimity, the highest results can be attained. Such a tract of land cannot be found in the neighborhood of all cities, and could not be secured except through legislative authority which is justified by the public benefit. The work of developing it requires means. It demands, moreover, a plan carefully considered and intelligently, continuously, and patiently pursued through- out the course of years which are necessary for its perfection. There are trusts also to be fulfilled in providing special care of grave markers and monuments, or the perpetual disposal of cut flowers upon the resting places of friends, or the like, which may be a pleasure to the living and an honor to the departed. The experience of the past has proven that all

6 CEDAR HILL CEMETERY

these various ends can only be attained when the place of sepulture is committed to a corporation created for the pur- pose, and having no other aim than to secure to the lot-owners all the benefits which the funds accruing from the sale of lots may provide. These are the reasons for the modern cemetery, in which the wisdom, taste, and forethought of our age have found expression.

The rural cemetery has been a gradual development and has reached a pre-eminence in our American life. The reawak- ening of civilization in Europe found customs prevailing which were offensive to the sentiments of cultivated people, danger- ous to public health, subject to the vicissitudes of time, and inadequate to the necessities of interment. The mausoleums of the nobility were erected to some extent within their parks, where taste could be amply gratified ; but, for the most part, the ancient practice of burial in or near Christian churches held sway. This, in the beginning, arose out of the erection of shrines or temples over the remains of martyrs. A burial within sacred walls was harmonious with their faith. It was thought also to render the resting place secure in the future. The history of many famous cathedrals, such as St. Peter's at Rome, Notre Dame at Rouen, and Westminster Abbey at Lon- don, has seemed to justify this expectation. Some burial places, however, once as highly esteemed, have been swept away like that of Iona, " the blessed isle". Interments within the parish churchyard could not hope for the perpetual pro- tection afforded by a cathedral. As time passed there arose the necessity of using the limited area for other generations. More especially was this true within the crowded city. Some- times even the church, which had other ends to serve, thought itself justified in abandoning the graveyard to the habitations and business of man. Instances are not unknown where these sacred acres were ruthlessly taken from the church. Hence there was occasion for a new method which would obviate these evils.

Sanitary reasons also were a great force in urging forward this development, especially in large cities. The vast number of intramural interments in Paris was thought to be danger- ous, especially when contagious diseases were prevalent. In 1790 the National Assembly of France passed a decree prohib-

HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE SKETCH 7

iting all burials within churches in Paris. It was this action which led to the establishment of the cemetery of Montmartre, the oldest burial ground of modern Paris, and the more famous "Cimetiere du Pere Lachaise", consecrated in 1804. Well known, however, as this latter cemetery is throughout the world as the resting place of many celebrated men and a field of costly monumental art, its area is only one hundred and ten acres, and it must not be thought to represent the highest idea which now prevails among the American people.

The early settlers of New England made their burials in the churchyard. It was the custom they had known in the mother country, and which has been nowhere else so well maintained as under the English parish system. This was soon modified by the relations which the church sustained to the town. The result was that all burial places came under the jurisdiction and care of the civil authorities. It was a natural sequence and spread with the extension of the country, so that it became the plan generally received. The only ex- ceptions were the family burial places, which may still be seen here and there, and a few graveyards owned by ecclesiastical bodies. In the small homestead enclosure a valuable idea was expressed. The generations were gathered together, and the spot was convenient for visitation and care. As the family decayed, however, the defect of the plan was evident. The homestead passed into other hands who had no interest in the dead of former owners. The church graveyard was subject to the same changes, especially in cities. Around the sacred edifice the activities of men naturally gathered, and business made demands for the room which the dead could not defend and the living were induced to sell. The placing of cemeteries under the civil authorities was, of all, the most unpromising system. It was liable to all known evils. The town ofiicers had other cares which overshadowed this. Such sentiments then prevailed as made the graveyard no pressing concern for any one. The consequences were everywhere apparent in burial places which had been desecrated, neglected, encroached upon, and even swept away by the changes of time. Our modern revival of interest in them has been largely due to the refined sentiment and practical wisdom which have produced

8 CEDAR HILL CEMETERY

the beautiful rural cemetery. In this the experience of the past has finally reached a conclusion, which provides the fam- ily with a place of sepulture amid the beauties of nature and under perpetual care.

An early example of such a cemetery, if not the forerunner of all, is found in our own State of Connecticut. In 1797 the General Assembly, upon the petition of James Hillhouse, Jo- seph Drake, and Isaac Mills, granted a charter to the " Propri- etors of the New Burying Ground, so called, in New Haven." These parties had purchased the year before ten acres of land for their purpose, which they thought would be " for the larger and better accommodation of families, and by its retired situa- tion be better calculated to impress the mind with a solemnity becoming the depository of the dead." It is said that " the Hon. James Hillhouse, then in the United States Senate, was a gentleman of great energy of character, and endowed with a love of nature and taste for rural culture rare for his time." The sentiments these gentlemen entertained did not become general for many years. A few examples, however, were suffi- cient to spread them throughout the country. Mount Auburn Cemetery, near Boston, was incorporated in 1831. It is said to have been the first of any note in this country. Laurel Hill Cemetery, Philadelphia, was incorporated in 1836, Greenwood Cemetery, New York, in 1838, Spring Grove Cemetery, Cin- cinnati, in 1845. Within a few years several States made provision for the incorporation of cemetery associations. The plan was generally received with the favor which it merited ; but its most convincing argument was the beautiful, park-like appearance of such burial places, so harmonious with refined sentiments. A new interest was awakened in monumental art when the care of such works was assured. The civil war also frequently turned the minds of the people toward such matters. During those years many rural cemeteries were established in various parts of the country.

The first action in the history of the Cedar Hill Cemetery was taken in the summer of 1863. A number of prominent citizens had for some been interested in the sentiments

At that time, however, local considerations en- ion. The existin

HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE SKETCH 9

modations were limited and imperfect. The extension of the city northward promised to bring them at no distant day within the habitations of the living. As there were then no outlying parks the people were tempted to frequent the burial grounds more than was desirable, and the street railway fur- thered these habits. Vandalism was not unknown, as the newspapers of the time testify. Moreover, a decided demand had arisen for the proper care of graves. It was said that " a neglected burial lot is a stigma upon surviving friends, while a lot that is carefully trimmed and attended to reflects credit upon the living as well as the dead." Moved by these consid- erations, a meeting was called to discuss the subject. It was held at the residence of James C. Jackson, M.D., and was composed of those most interested, one or more gentlemen having been invited from each ecclesiastical society in Hart- ford. Mr. William L. Collins was chosen chairman and Dr. Jackson clerk. After full discussion, "it was unanimously decided that in order to meet the desire prevailing among our citizens, the enterprise should be inaugurated as soon as practicable." Several gentlemen of ample means guaranteed its feasibility. A committee consisting of Dr. Jackson, Hiram Bissell, and Jacob Weidenman were accordingly appointed to select a location, — "one sufficiently removed from the city, possessing suitable soil and the largest number of other desirable characteristics, such as variety of surface, beauty of landscape, and running water."

The work of this committee was most important. Several locations were suggested and carefully examined. One was the territory lying west of the present Spring Grove Cemetery, and between it and Vine street, through which Gully Brook runs. The soil of this tract was thought to be too clayey and wet, and withal the expense of purchase and improvement would be too large. Another location considered was the property lying along the eastern slope of Blue Hill Bidge to the west of the present Keney Bark. The obtainable area was found to be too small and costly. It was, moreover, then con- sidered " quite inaccessible with the general condition of the roads leading to it." A third tract was the farm of the late George M. Bartholomew on Bark street, then more heavily

10 CEDAR HILL CEMETERY

wooded than of recent years. The subsoil was found to be largely of clay and gravel, and therefore inappropriate. This location is now occupied in part by Pope Park, and the growth of manufacturing interests in that vicinity has proven the wis- dom of its rejection as a proper place for a rural cemetery. The location which had most considerations in its favor was that finally selected, lying principally within the town of Hartford, and extending southward over the line into the towns of Wethersfield and Newington. It was situated on the southern arm of the ridge which runs through the city, and was about three miles from the center. On the east was the New Haven turnpike road, and on the west the road to New Britain. On the south it was bounded by the Hillhouse road climbing westward to the summit of the ridge. It had very desirable landscape features, affording opportunity for an in- expensive and beautiful future development. There was water at hand which could be utilized with great effect. It was the natural arboretum of all evergreen trees, more so than any tract within convenient access of the city. The soil was exam- ined and found to be a coarse, gravelly loam, much better for interment purposes than is common in this region. Moreover, the tract was sufficiently extensive to provide for the needs of many generations, and was without any dangers of encroach- ment. For these reasons the committee decided to recommend this location as most desirable for a rural cemetery. After several meetings held in the autumn of 1863, at which the subject received careful consideration, the gentlemen interested accepted the committee's choice.

This decision having been made, a committee was appointed to negotiate for the purchase of the desired property. It was found to belong to nine different individuals or estates, some of whom were unwilling to sell at a reasonable price, or could not convey their land on account of entailments. A commit- tee was therefore appointed, consisting of Messrs. William R. Cone, James G. Patterson, and James C. Jackson, to draft, present, and advocate a bill, to be submitted to the Legislature, asking for a charter with power to sequestrate such lands as could not be otherwise secured for cemetery purposes. This measure was brought before the Legislature at its May session

HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE SKETCH 11

in 1864, and resulted in the act of incorporation elsewhere printed, which was duly accepted. The association was thus enabled to obtain a desirable tract of land for its purpose, — at present comprising two hundred and sixty-eight acres. It was given authority to select its own name, and was constituted a corporation with all powers necessary for the perfection of its designs and the future management of its property. The plan set forth in the act was to organize the corporation with a capital stock of fifty thousand dollars, — five hundred shares of one hundred dollars each, — to be expended in establishing the cemetery ; the several subscriptions to the same to be paid back to the stockholders, with interest, when funds should accrue for that purpose, leaving the cemetery property to the final ownership of the lot-holders under the care of their Board of Directors. This provision has now been fully carried out, one-half of the par value of the shares having been repaid January 1, 1895, and the remaining one-half January 1, 1897. The five hundred shares of stock, originally held by seventy-six subscribers, have therefore ceased to exist, and the present cor- poration is composed of the lot-owners.

The first meeting of the stockholders was held at the American National Bank, June 8, 1865. At this time by-laws were adopted and directors were chosen. The corporate title selected was Cedar Hill Cemetery, — a name suggested by the grove of red cedars which crowns the summit of the western ridge. On the 12th of June the directors met and elected officers. The enterprise moved forward from this time as speedily as the circumstances would admit. The desired lands were acquired, and cost about fifty thousand dollars ($50,000). A portion of these was purchased at once, so that on the 11th of September the Committee on General Plans was authorized " to proceed to develop, lay out, and grade the grounds of the Cedar Hill Cemetery." The work was begun the next day, and was done under the superintendence of Mr. Jacob Weiden- man, who entered into the service of the corporation on the 1st of August. During the seasons of 1865 and 1866 about fifty thousand dollars were expended in improvements. The needed maps and plans were prepared. The grounds were drained, laid out in sections, surrounded by broad and well-

12 CEDAR HILL CEMETERY

built avenues, and much was done toward their ornamentation with trees and shrubs. The receiving tomb was also con- structed. So far had the work advanced in the summer of 1866 that on the 16th of July lots were offered to the public. Interments were made during that season, the first being on the 17th of July.

The original purpose of the directors was to have the cem- etery consecrated for burial uses in 1866, before any interments were made. The ceremonies were, however, postponed on account of inclement weather from the 26th of September to the 9th of October, and from that date for the same reason to a more favorable season. The day finally fixed was June 24, 1868. In the waning afternoon light of a beautiful summer day many interested people were gathered about a stand, which had been erected near what has since been known as Consecration Avenue, to attend upon the services of the occa- sion. The president of the corporation, George W. Moore, presided, and the exercises were as follows : Invocation Hymn, " Summer breezes gently sighing" ; Invocation, Rev. Joseph H. Twichell; Historical Address, Rowland Swift; Hymn, "I would not live alway"; Reading of Scripture, Rev. J. Aspinwall Hodge; Ode, "Beneath this sod"; Oration, Rt. Rev. John Williams, D.D. ; Consecration Hymn, "Who shudders not his grave to find"; Consecration Prayer, Rev. Edwin P. Parker; Hymn, "Shall I fear, O earth, thy bosom"; Benedic- tion, Rev. Francis Goodwin. The music of the service was rendered by a choir of ladies and gentlemen under the leader- ship of Dr. J. G. Barnett. Thus was Cedar Hill Cemetery established. The years which have elapsed since its consecra- tion have witnessed constant improvements, and the growth of trees and shrubs has added greatly to its beauty. The original design, however, has been followed in the portion developed, which at present comprises, with the extensive ornamental fore- ground, one hundred and sixty-five acres of the tract.

The total cost of improvements and maintenance from the inception of the enterprise to November 30, 1902, has been $304,509.60, which, with the original cost of the lands, makes the total outlay $355,129.17.

The visitor to Cedar Hill Cemetery approaches it from the

HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE SKETCH 13

north through Fairfield Avenue, which follows the height of the ridge running through the city of Hartford. This broad and sightly avenue has been designated as the parkway con- necting Pope and Goodwin parks, thus assuring for it an appro- priate treatment. Through it also the electric cars bring visitors in twenty minutes from the city hall to the cemetery gates. The main gateway is located at the northeast corner of the grounds. At this point the avenue is intersected by the New Haven turnpike road, which bounds the cemetery on the east. Opposite the gates is the main entrance to Goodwin Park. This tract of land recently acquired by the city, with its peaceful meadows, picturesque watercourse, and giant trees which remain of the primitive forest, brings into the fore- ground of the eastward view a charming landscape. An opportunity is thus afforded also for ornamental treatment on both sides of the roadway, mutually beneficial to the park and the cemetery. Turning toward the west the visitor faces the group of buildings which guard the cemetery entrance. On the left is the Northam Memorial Chapel, so situated on the height of the slope as to present a dignified appear- ance and be convenient of access from the highway upon which it fronts and from the cemetery grounds in the rear. In the center is the Gallup Memorial Gateway, through which the road passes into the main entrance avenue. The chapel and gateway, substantially built of granite and in harmony with each other, give the entire front an appro- priate character and are at the same time suitably arranged for their purposes. A detailed description of these buildings is given elsewhere. On the right is the Superintendent's cottage, planted round about with evergreen trees and with ornamental flower beds in its spacious lawn. At present this is a frame building, but the design contemplates one more substantial and in keeping with the chapel and gateway. It is to be hoped that some time in the near future some person will be moved to contribute the amount necessary to carry out this purpose.

One who passes through the gateway into the cemetery finds himself facing Inway Avenue, which leads across the intervale foreground, between picturesque sheets of water to

14 CEDAR HILL CEMETERY

the hills beyond. On both sides tall spruce trees flank the approach. The avenue itself lies between rows of overhang- ing maples. The roadway to the left is that by which the receiving tomb is reached. This structure, south of the chapel and near at hand, is well built of quarry stone under the brow of the hillside. It is well ventilated and has ample accommo- dation for sixty caskets, with a separate apartment for each. Modern electrical apparatus connects it with the Superintend- ent's quarters and affords perfect protection. An ornamental front of granite with a receiving hall has been recently con- structed, and this essential feature of the modern cemetery is now unsurpassed. A small area is laid out in front of the tomb, the trees round about making it a secluded and quiet spot.

The ornamental foreground of the cemetery embraces seventy-three acres, and constitutes one of its most attractive features. Aside from the beauty of its landscape, it serves a useful purpose in facilitating proper drainage of the higher slopes and removes the burial lots to a retired distance from the entrance and highway. As one follows the inway west- ward, a massive stone bridge is crossed which has a width of forty feet and is one hundred and twenty feet in length. This spans the stream which connects the twin waters of Cedar Lake. On either side the lake can be seen through the grow- ing shrubbery. Still further on to the left is Llyn Mawr Lake, thought to deserve its old British name, meaning " Great Lake", because of its extent. It covers eight acres and has a depth of about fifteen feet. Although it is entirely artificial it lies naturally in the midst of the landscape, and receives its waters by a winding brooklet from Lotus Lake, located in the extreme southwest of the foreground. These in turn it dis- charges into Cedar Lake, through which they pass out of the grounds by the natural watercourse. This lake feature of the landscape is singularly beautiful, with the clumps of alders here and there and the view encompassed about wTith many varieties of trees. The extensive tract thus treated makes the impression that one is entering a natural park, which was the end desired.

The portion of the cemetery at present laid out for burial

HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE SKETCH 15

purposes contains ninety-two acres. It rises before one at the western end of the inway in two ridges, running north and south, and is divided into twelve sections by broad ave- nues, which climb in all directions over the extensive hill in the center of the cemetery. Along each avenue on both sides a wide border is reserved by the corporation, giving additional breadth and offering an opportunity for plantings here and there as may be necessary for the general effect. Each sec- tion is laid out on the modern style of landscape architecture, without copings, fences, or hedges, which are not allowed to inclose any lot. The endless variety of such devices, besides the cost of erection and need of constant repairs, would be very unsightly and spoil the harmonious effect. They are moreover wholly unnecessary, as the boundaries of every lot are defined by corner-marks of cast iron, flanged and pointed, having the lot number in raised figures on the top. These corner-marks, being driven down flush with the ground, are no obstacle to the lawn mower. Each lot also is surrounded by an open space or grass walk, belonging to the corporation and entirely within its control, reserved for such planting or ornamentation as may be deemed best for the beauty of the whole plot. The sections thus treated have the appearance of extensive lawns, with trees and shrubs interspersed among family monuments and adding greatly to their advantages.

The ascent of the first or most easterly slope, called "Grand View Ridge", brings the entire cemetery into view. The height is in sections one and two, and it sinks away to the northward in sections five, six, and seven. On the east, beyond Consecration Avenue, which runs along its base, is the beautiful slope comprised in sections three and four, looking toward the sunrise and melting into the landscape foreground. Looking toward the west, another and higher ridge is seen, named after its former owner, " Hillhouse Ridge," the height of which is in section twelve. In the distance, separated by a charming intervale, which nature has planted, is the sunset summit, one hundred and seventy-three feet above the ceme- tery entrance, crowned with foliage of many shades and forming a very desirable background for the view. At first the visitor is sensible only of his immediate surroundings.

Costly examples of monumental art in granite and marble are round about. The advantages which the rural cemetery offers for such memorials are clearly manifest. Amid flow- ers, shrubs, and trees, many varieties of which are visible, the countless shapes of stone in pillar, shaft, and block, are brought into harmony, and the extensive greensward is the relieving screen upon which their outlines are shown. On all sides, in the distance, a panorama circles the vision round as vast as the horizon itself. This great advantage of Cedar Hill Cem- etery rarely escapes remark. To the northward the gilded dome of the capitol building is seen, towering aloft in the midst of Hartford's church spires. Beyond and forty miles away is the Holyoke mountain range, with the familiar summits of Mount Tom and Mount Holyoke. The broad and fertile valley of the Connecticut river sweeps away eastward. Here and there, amid its rolling sea of meadow and forest, the clustered homes of many towns are distinctly visible ; Rocky Hill, Wethersfield, Glastonbury, East Hartford, Manchester, South Windsor, and Rockville nestling between the eastern hills. Farther away and forming the background of a pano- rama, gorgeous in the colors of spring or autumn, there is the rugged range of hills extending from Eastbury northward to Bolton and beyond, with the Somers Mountains in view. The scenery westward, though in part hidden behind Sunset Cliff, as the wooded height of the cemetery is called, is diversified and charming. The eye finds meadow, grove, and mansion scattered over an extensive valley, with the Talcott mountain range looking down upon it from the west and showing its bold outlines against the sky. To the south a portion of Mount Lamentation is seen, and the Hanging Hills of Meriden are plainly in sight. The well-known landscape architect, Adolph Strauch, standing on this ridge years ago and looking about on the magnificent scenes, is said to have remarked, " I have visited every cemetery of any note, from the St. Law- rence to the Rio Grande, and I have never seen the spot that has so many advantages as this, or so splendid a landscape/' One who has dwelt upon this view will not wonder at such enthusiasm. As the eye sweeps the horizon round, searching out some well-known spot, fascinated with the distant moun-

HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE SKETCH 17

tain peak or dwelling with admiration upon the vast sea of green, the mind is impressed by the grandeur of the scene. The emotions are quieted by the vast calm of nature. One appreciates then the desire of so many cultivated persons to rest at last in the midst of the perpetual beauties of earth. The soul is comforted with the thought that friends and kin- dred have at least found a place of sepulture in harmony with their characters and tastes, worthy to contain and fitted to protect their memorials. The rural cemetery has for its aim the gratification of these refined and natural desires. In the keeping of a corporation, which has profits for no one and equal benefits for all lot owners, which can receive and carry out all desirable trusts in passing years, such hopes are thought to be sure of fulfillment.

Northam Memorial Chapel

The Northam Memorial Chapel is the most conspicuous edifice of the group gathered about the entrance to Cedar Hill Cemetery. It stands on a gentle elevation south of the gate- way, and fronts toward the highway, with an ornamental lawn before it. This chapel is the gift of the late Colonel Charles H. Northam of Hartford, who was from the organiza- tion of the corporation to his death an interested member of its Board of Directors. It is appropriately consecrated in his memory.

Some time before his death Colonel Northam expressed the pious wish to a few friends that there might be erected at Cedar Hill Cemetery a mortuary chapel, set apart as a Chris- tian temple for all proper purposes in connection with the burial of the dead. The general design in his mind was very much like that subsequently developed by his executors. Accordingly he bequeathed in his will the sum of thirty thou- sand dollars ($30,000) for this end, directing his executors to erect the edifice. The bequest not being sufficient for a build- ing according to the design selected, Mrs. Susan E. Northam generously increased the sum to forty thousand dollars ($40,000) to carry out her husband's wishes in the best possible manner. This chapel was not designed as a receiving vault, and can never be so used. The donor's aim was to provide the sacred and comforting associations of the church for such as assemble at the burial of the dead. As expressed in his will, the edifice is "to be used for the purpose of holding funeral services therein by any and all persons, of any and all religious denomi- nations or sects, at all proper times, subject to the reasonable rules and regulations made by said Cedar Hill Cemetery Asso- ciation concerning the same." To this purpose alone the chapel has therefore been devoted.

NORTHAM MEMORIAL CHAPEL 19

The erection of the building was begun in the summer of 18S2, and the corner stone, located at the northeast corner of the foundation, was laid with appropriate services on the 31st of October the same year. The architect was Mr. George Keller of Hartford. On the 12th of November, 1883, the work being completed, the chapel was dedicated. The day was the anniversary of Colonel Northam's death. The services were as follows: Hymn, "Come, let us join our friends above"; Reading of Scripture, Psalm xcix, John v: 19-30, and Rev. xxi: 1-7; Hymn, "Blest be the tie that binds"; Address, Rev. Edwin P. Parker, D.D.; Hymn, "Lo! what a cloud of wit- nesses"; Delivery of the Chapel to the Directors of the Ceme- tery, Mr. James B. Powell, executor; Acceptance of the Chapel, Mr. Rowland Swift, treasurer of the corporation; Doxology ; Prayer and Benediction.

The chapel presents a beautiful and picturesque appearance from all points of view. It is designed in the English Gothic style, which is particularly suited to the character of the building. In its plan it is cruciform, with steep pitched roofs, having gables at the east and west ends of the nave, and smaller gables at the ends of chancel and transepts. The gray rock-faced Westerly granite is relieved by the lighter color of the hammered granite dressings, and the dark slate of the roofs makes an agreeable contrast with the stone. The bank on which the chapel stands slopes gently from east to west, giving to the low walls of the chapel an appearance of height at the ends, which is further increased by a graceful belfry that rises above the western gable and above the chancel and tran- sept roofs which group below it. The side walls are pierced with narrow triple windows, and the chancel is lighted by a beautiful mullioned window, the arched head of which is filled with stone tracery. The western gable of the chapel was struck by lightning September 11, 1901, but the damage to the granite blocks and the interior has since been thoroughly repaired.

The entrance to the chapel is at the east gable, lying just outside the cemetery walls. The doorway is arched, and enriched with carved columns on each side, and in the spandrel of the arch above is carved the head of a sleeping cherub,

20 CEDAR HILL CEMETERY

modeled by the sculptor Bauer. This is a poetic work, and beautifully suggests that they for whom the chapel is built " are not dead, but sleeping." On either side of the entrance are coupled windows lighting a vestibule; a rose window is above, and the graceful lines of the cross at the peak of the gable, and again at the top of the belfry, form the crowning emblems of this Christian memorial.

At the entrance a large vestibule, the entire width of the building, is separated from the body of the chapel by a low carved cherry-wood screen, the upper panels of which are filled with stained glass of antique pattern. A broad aisle leading from this vestibule extends up the middle of the nave, and a row of solid-cherry wood pews are on either side. The chan- cel is at the extreme west end, and the choir occupies the tran- sept on the north, and the robing-room that on the south. The chancel and transept arches and the mullioned windows have splayed jambs and arches of red Carlisle sandstone, and the entire floor of the chapel is paved with very small buff, red, and brown tile, laid in a meandering pattern of varying design, called in olden times " the labyrinth " or " road to Jerusalem." The side walls are faced with red pressed brick from the floor up to the level of the window stools, forming a band of color entirely around the chapel. The wall surface above this is tinted in a light buff color until it meets the paneled cherry- wood ceiling, which is divided into bays by three trusses which span the nave.

The whole forms a harmonious setting for the rich stained glass of the windows, which shed a softened and religious light over all. These are by Cottier & Co., the celebrated artist firm of London and New York, and the work is fully equal to their enviable reputation. The chancel window, which is the most conspicuous and richest in design and color, repre- sents the " Kesurrection," with Christ in the center, emerging from the tomb, and the Eoman soldiers guarding the entrance are represented in the attitudes of awe and astonishment. In roundels above are the Angels of the Resurrection holding a scroll bearing the legend " I am the Resurrection and the Life," and above these is the Holy Spirit descending in the form of a dove. In the rose window in the eastern gable, opposite the

NORTHAM MEMORIAL CHAPEL 21

chancel, is an angel extending a scroll bearing the words "Death is swallowed up in Victory." The coloring of the windows is rich, the composition excellent, and has the great merit of telling its story at a glance.

The side windows and the vestibule windows are filled with stained glass of a simpler design and in lighter tones, thus heightening the effect of the richer and more important win- dows in the chancel and western gable. The chancel furni- ture is cherry, and the rail and reading desk of polished brass. The rich colors of the walls, ceiling, and furniture, the beauti- ful pavement, and the glowing colors of " the storied windows richly dight," delight the eye and prepare the mind to receive the lessons of the solemn occasion, when chastened by sorrow and in its most receptive mood.

The bell in the west gable bears the following inscription :

" In loving memory of Charles H. Northam. Born Dec. 21, 1797. Died Nov. 12, 1881."

This memorial chapel is admirably adapted and located for its purpose. The dignity of the exterior is heightened by its commanding position, and the spacious interior, rich and beau- tiful, is bright and cheerful, fitted to dispel gloomy thoughts and at the same time impress the mind with the holiness of the place. During the winter season it is kept warmed by a furnace in the cellar. At services where the remains are not to be immediately interred in the cemetery grounds, the casket is lowered, at the proper time, from its place before the altar by a mechanical appliance, and the bearers remove it to the receiving tomb close at hand. Everything which may seem to be inharmonious with the solemnity of the service is thus avoided, and the sanctity of the holy place surrounds the mourners with its comfort and hopes.

Gallup Memorial Gateway

The center of the beautiful group of buildings at the en- trance to Cedar Hill Cemetery is filled by the Gallup Memorial Gateway. It is built in accordance with the original design, which contemplates a gate-lodge for the Superintendent, to stand on the north, in harmony with the chapel on the south. This third edifice as yet awaits some generous donor, but when it is provided the extent of the architectural design will appear and the gateway will assume its natural place as an entrance guarded on both sides by its more stately neighbors.

The gateway was the gift of Mrs. Julia A. Gallup of Plain- field, Connecticut, who, during the last years of her life, resided in Hartford. It was completed during the summer of 1889, after the design of Mr. George Keller, and cost twenty-eight thousand dollars ($28,000). A low granite wall about thirty feet in length connects the gateway with the chapel, and gives an imposing breadth to the whole entrance. In the center is the main carriage gate, eighteen feet wide. Two smaller gates are provided for pedestrians, one on each side. To the south is the waiting-room designed for the use of visitors to Cedar Hill Cemetery, and at all times kept comfortable for this pur- pose. To the north is the office building of the Superintendent, where charts, plans, and records relating to the cemetery are kept for consultation. The waiting-room, office building, and the massive gate-posts and walls of the gateway are all built of the same material as the Northam Memorial Chapel, white "Westerly granite, so that, although they form an independent group, they are in harmony with the whole. The magnificent iron gates which fill the main entrance, and the smaller gates on either side, are probably the most beautiful specimens of wrought-iron work in the country on so large a scale. There is no cast work, but the whole is done with the hammer and

GALLUP MEMORIAL GATEWAY 23

anvil. When seen at a distance against the horizon or the white background of the granite, these gates, with their beau- tiful interlacing scrolls, delicate leaves, flowers, and tendrils, seem like rich lacework stretched across the openings. The waiting-room on the one side of these gates and the office building on the other, each present gables to the roadway. The gable of the waiting-room is filled with a beautiful memo- rial window to Mrs. Gallup, for the waiting-room is designed to be especially memorial in its character. The interior is paved with rich stone mosaic in different tones of color. A wainscot of polished Numidian marble of a beautiful rich red color runs around the room. The ceiling, which is arch-shaped following the lines of the roof, is lined with white oak wood, and the walls between the roof and the marble wainscoting are colored to harmonize with the rest. A large open fireplace with polished red marble chimney-piece, which reaches from floor to ceiling, is placed on the south side of the waiting-room and bears on the lintel over the fireplace this inscription :

In Memory of Mrs. Julia A. Gallup,

who built this gateway.

Bokn at Plainfield, 5th June, 1814,

Died at Plainfield, 3d Nov., 1884.

The stained glass memorial window is by Cottier & Co., of London and New York, and represents " The Ascension." It is composed in a simple, bold manner, and executed in very rich colors, and at once commands the attention of the spec- tator on entering the chamber. The other windows in the room are of leaded white glass, and the splayed jambs, arches, and window stools are of red Tennessee marble.

The office building on the opposite side of the roadway is treated in a simpler manner, befitting its purpose. A pleasant bay window projects toward the front, commanding the lawn and roadway, so that the attendant can easily observe any one approaching the gates.

One of the most noticeable features of this entire gateway group when it is approached by the visitor, is its admirable location as related to the cemetery grounds. Its background

24 CEDAR HILL CEMETERY

of tall spruce trees displays it to advantage. Through it the entrance avenue passes into a beautiful vista, sinking away in the intervale foreground and rising again in the ascent of the ridge, where monuments look out from the abundant foliage. The impression made, therefore, is not that of many gateways which suggest exclusion and conceal the grounds beyond. It stands out, rather, as a beautiful memorial, inviting one to enter a vast and charming landscape.

Rules and Regulations

of

Cedar Hill Cemetery

1. When graves are to be opened a permit issued by the Registrar of Vital Statistics must, in conformity to law, be furnished to the Secretary at his office in the city ; the Secre- tary will then issue an order to the Superintendent to open the grave. Notice should be given so as to allow as much as eight hours of daylight for the work. No interment or disinterment will be allowed without such order, and no grave will be or- dered opened, or interment made, or tomb opened, on Sunday, unless required for public health.

No grave to be less than four feet deep. Brick graves laid in cement with flagging at bottom and top will be built by the Corporation as per schedule to be obtained of the Secretary. Ample time should always be given for this work.

Granite grave marks in one piece and placed three feet in the ground will be permitted ; and if placed at the head of the grave should be not more than eighteen inches above the ground ; and if at foot of grave not more than six inches above the ground.

RULES AND REGULATIONS 35

pense of the lot owner. Foundations for monuments will be built of solid masonry not less than six feet deep and same size as the lower base of the monument, and level with the top of the ground. Foundations, graves, and grave marks to be not less than six inches within the lines of the several lots.

3. The proprietor of each lot shall furnish, to be erected by the Superintendent at his or her expense, such merestones or landmarks at the corners of his or her lot as shall be adopted by the Corporation.

4. No fence, hedge, railing, or coping will be allowed to enclose a lot.

5. Proprietors of lots may have planted by employes of the Corporation shrubs and plants upon their lots under advice and control of the Superintendent ; but the right is reserved to remove at any time any shrubs, plants, trees, monuments, or inscriptions that are in any way objectionable or injurious. All rubbish collected on private lots must be removed to such places of deposit as are provided for the purpose. In case of failure to do so it will be removed at the expense of the lot owner.

6. All workmen employed in the construction of vaults, erection of monuments, or work of any kind, must be subject to the control and direction of the Superintendent of the cem- etery ; and any workmen failing to conform to this rule will not be permitted to afterward work in the cemetery.

13. Children will not be admitted unless accompanied by guardians.

14. All persons are prohibited from touching any object not their own.

15. Drivers of carriages employed at funerals will be re- quired to remain quietly with their teams during the cere- monies. No horse may be left by the driver in the cemetery unhitched.

16. Any person disturbing the quiet and good order of the place by noise or other improper conduct, or who shall violate any of the foregoing rules, will be compelled instantly to leave the cemetery.

17. No money shall be paid, or gratuity, to any person in the employ of the Corporation in reward for any personal at- tention.

18. The gates will be opened at sunrise and closed at sun- set, when all persons must leave the cemetery.

19. The Superintendent is fully empowered, as special police, to arrest all who violate any reasonable rule of the Corporation.

Advantages

The great advantage which the lot owners possess in this cemetery over many others in this country is due to the purely benevolent character of the enterprise. The Corporation has no other end than the improvement, care, and ornamentation of these grounds. There are no longer any stockholders, and the Corporation consists of the lot owners, who elect the officers and are mutually entitled to all benefits. No profits can be appropriated to any other than the above purposes, and all funds accruing from the sale of lots must be held sacred for the same ends. Every lot and grave in the grounds is taken care of by the Corporation, without expense to the owner. The lawns on all the sections are cut by lawn-mowers as often as needful, and persons residing abroad may be assured that their lots are receiving the same attention as are the lots of resident owners.

Trust Funds

The Corporation will gladly receive, invest, and expend the income of such funds as lot owners or others may bequeath for special purposes, such as the care of monuments or sepulchral memorials, ornamentation of lots, and the placing of cut flow- ers upon graves on Memorial Day, Easter, or other anniversa- ries, reserving only the right to maintain the general harmony and beauty of the grounds.

Records

The Corporation is provided with the most ample and per- fect system for defining the boundaries of each lot and record-

38 CEDAR HILL CEMETERY

ing all interments therein, which will at once answer any question of the lot owner. Two sets of working or locating plans are kept, — one at the city office and the other at Cedar Hill. These show diagrams of each lot on the scale of forty feet to the inch, with the exact location of all monumental work, and every grave, the latter being marked with the number of the interment, running from the foot to the head. A third set of plans, eight feet to the inch and perfect in every detail, is deposited in a safety vault. A record of lots is kept, giving all needed information concerning them, and the same is pro- vided with a card index of all lot owners. A complete record in duplicate is also kept of all interments, showing the number, date, name of deceased, place of nativity, age, sex, condition, date and place of death, late residence, occupation, parents or kindred, cause of death, time of burial or entombment, section, lot, grave, undertaker, receipt of registrar's permit, and issue of Superintendent's notification. These particulars are deliv- ered to the Superintendent of the cemetery with every order to open a grave or deposit a casket in the tomb. All applications for information should be made at the city office.

Lots

In laying out lots the wants and circumstances of all classes have been considered, and in each section there are lots varying in size from twenty to one hundred feet square. Large lots are prepared to satisfy the demand for a " family burying ground," and are adapted to meet the needs of several generations. The prices of lots vary according to their size and location. A permanent grade is established in each section before the lots are offered for sale, which will in no case be changed.

Purchasing Lots

All persons desiring to purchase lots should visit the ceme- tery, where the Superintendent will be found in attendance and give all necessary information. After a selection has been made, they should at once bring their certificates to the city office and pay for their lots, for which a deed will be given.

EXPLANATIONS 39

All deeds, wherever the lot may be located, are recorded in the town of Hartford.

Transfer of Lots

Attention is called to Article 13 of the By-Laws regarding the transfer of lots. This article provides that "no sale or transfer of lots by any purchaser will be allowed or be valid except by reconveyance to the Corporation and upon the con- sent of the directors in writing under the hand of the secretary." Under the statute a cemetery lot is not liable to execution, and while the directors of the Corporation will not object to the proper transfer of lots by original purchasers, they will endeavor to have the title inalienable, and render it impossible for heirs- at-law, by poverty or cupidity, to part with their inheritance and remove the bodies of the original owners.

Division Lines

The boundaries of all lots are defined by the records and charts, and are indicated on the grounds by corner marks of cast-iron, having the lot number in raised figures on the top, and firmly set in the earth. No fence, hedge, railing, coping, or other device will be allowed to enclose a lot. When there are two or more persons interested as owners of a lot, no divi- sion lines within the same will be recognized by the Corpora- tion, all owners having equal rights of interment in the lot so

long as there shall be room.

Tomb

The receiving tomb, located near the Memorial Chapel, is of superior construction, substantial, well-ventilated, and dry, and affords ample accommodations. It may be used as occa- sion requires, and its use in the winter season is very desirable. Thus the committal service in the chapel can be appropriately performed and the dangers of the undue exposure of friends are avoided. It has not been customary to charge lot owners who have requested the use of the tomb for a reasonable length of time. All parties wi]l receive due notice of the proper time for final interment.

40 CEDAR HILL CEMETERY

Monuments

It is necessary in order to protect graves, improved lots, and the cemetery grounds from present or future injury that all excavations lor vaults and all foundations be made by the employes of the Corporation. Foundations for monuments will be built of solid masonry, not less than six feet deep, the stone being quarried on Cedar Mountain and laid in cement grouted. This work is done at the expense of the lot owner, the price varying from twenty-five to sixty cents per cubic foot according to size. Grave marks will also be set by the employes. An estimate of the cost of such work will be fur- nished upon application with accompanying particulars.

Brick Graves

All brick graves, when desired for interments, will be built by experienced masons under the supervision of the employes of the Corporation at the expense of the lot owner. The ap- proved standard requires that the sides be not less than four inches and the ends not less than eight inches in thickness, of brick wall laid in cement, with the top and bottom of pointed flag. The cost varies according to size.

Mounds

In laving out the cemetery it was the intention of the directors to prohibit mounds over graves. The plan of record- ing the location of graves is so complete that a mound is unnecessary to indicate the place of interment, especially when a marker is set. The early interments in the cemetery are not marked by mounds; subsequently, at the solicitation of lot owners, mounds have been permitted, but the directors prefer to carry out their original plan of a cemetery on the landscape lawn plan, which gives a better general effect.

Single Graves

Single graves may be secured at a very moderate cost, sec- tions and lots being reserved for this purpose. Such graves

EXPLANATIONS 41

receive the same external attention, care, and decoration as the other parts of the grounds.

Bicycles and Automobiles

The rules of the cemetery provide that " neither bicycles nor vehicles moved by hand or artificial power will be allowed on the grounds of the cemetery without a special permit." Passes are granted to those who are lot owners to enter the cemetery with a bicycle or automobile, upon application at the city office, and in all cases expire with the last day of the year during which they are issued. Another application must be made for a renewal.
