SPRING GROVE CEMETERY
Your committee are of the unanimous opinion that a larger appropriation of money will be necessary in the near future to prepare the easterly half of the grounds for burial purposes, as the lots of land in the westerly side are mostly taken and it will be but a short time before they are all taken. Your committee have in contemplation a plan for the further development of the grounds and will submit the same to the town for action at a future meeting. For the coming year they ask for the usual appropriation of $1000 and proceeds from sale of lots. The present condition of the grounds is estimable and reflects much credit on the Superintendent. We should always remember that a burial-place is sacred ground and should not be neglected.
"I like that ancient Saxon phrase which calls The burial ground God's acre; it is just,. It consecrates each grave within its walls And breathes a benison o'er the sleeping dust."
