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

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. 


1G  CEDAR    HILL.    CEMETERY 

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

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.

marks  and  graves,  shall  be  deposited  and  shall  always  remain 
in  the  secretary's  office,  and  duplicate  copies  of  such  map  or 
maps  shall  be  deposited  in  some  other  secure  and  accessible

purchaser  only  the  right  of  interment  upon  his  lot  or  its  use 
for  burial  purpose  for  himself  and  family,  his  heirs  and  de- 
visees, and  such  friends  as  may  be  buried  therein,  without  any 
profit,  gain,  emolument,  or  advantage  whatever  to  the  pur- 
chaser or  proprietor,  and  shall  be  subject  to  all  the  by-laws, 
rules,  and  regulations  of  the  cemetery. 

No  sale  or  transfer  of  lots  by  any  purchaser  will  be  al 
lowed  or  be  valid  except  by  reconveyance  to  the  Corporation 
and  upon  the  consent  of  the  directors  in  writing  under  the 
hand  of  the  secretary. 

The  deeds  of  lots  shall  be  each  signed  and  acknowledged 
by  the  president  or  vice-president,  and  secretary,  who  are 
hereby  created  the  agents  of  the  Corporation  for  this  purpose, 
and  shall  be  registered  by  the  secretary  before  delivery. 

Article  14.  A  committee  of  two  shall  be  annually  ap- 
pointed by  the  lot  owners  to  examine  and  audit  the  accounts 
of  the  Corporation. 

Article  15.  The  by-laws  may  be  altered  or  amended  at 
any  annual  or  special  meeting  of  the  Corporation. 


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.  A  charge  of  $5.00  is  made 
for  opening,  closing,  turfing,  and  perpetual  care  of  a  grave  not 
less  than  four  feet  long  and  five  feet  deep,  and  $4.00  for  all 
under  that  length.  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. 

2.  The  owner  of  a  lot  may  have  erected  a  proper  monu- 
ment or  sepulchral  memorial,  subject  to  the  approval  of  the 
officers  or  directors.  All  slabs,  tablets,  or  headstones  less  than 
four  inches  thick  shall  be  laid  horizontally;  all  monumental 
work  and  grave  marks  must  be  on  stone  and  cement  founda- 
tions. 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.  To  protect  the  grounds  and  especially  improved 
lots  from  injury,  all  excavations  for  vaults  and  all  foundations 
must  be  made  by  the  employes  of  the  Corporation  at  the  ex- 


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. 

7.  Heavy-laden  teams  will  not  be  allowed  to  enter  the 
cemetery  in  wet  weather,  or  when  in  the  opinion  of  the  Super- 
intendent the  roads  are  in  danger  of  being  injured ;  and  no 
monumental  work  or  grave  marks  can  be  moved  on  the  sections 
on  wheels. 

8.  No  person,  whether  a  lot  owner  or  not,  will  be  allowed 
on  the  grounds  of  the  cemetery  without  a  permit.

36  CEDAR    HILL    CEMETERY 

12.  No  person  with  firearms,  or  with  dogs  running  at  large, 
will  be  permitted  to  enter  any  part  of  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.
