NOTE. - In these grounds were found hundreds of graves withont a stone to tell the story of the departed; and very many more, which had low rude markers, were wholly without inscriptions -thus consigning to oblivion a host of honored, worthy and deserving names. This was especially true of the west side division, recently converted into a public park by James M. Starr.

The McClures were a very peculiar people -ignorant, honest, unsophisticated and confiding. When the writer first knew them, there were some half-dozen old maids in the family, ranging from forty to fifty years in age. They were to be seen upon our streets, weekly, for many years, until literally retired by their infirmities. Their home was on a farm about two-and-a-half miles southeast of the city. They all dressed as nearly alike as possible, usually wearing some conspicuous, out-of-date pattern, a showy shawl and large " scoop" bonnet ; each one carrying a great black satchel and large old-fashioned cotton umbrella, walking invariably in single file - presenting a most novel and grotesque appearance, so that one might readily have fancied them to be the quaint representatives of a past and long-forgotten age.
