*Happily, the burial stones in the appealing cemetery were for years objects of ruthless disfiguration by the idle and thoughtless, and many were shamefully maimed. For years, it has been stated, that cows were allowed to graze in the hallowed enclosure. About 1875 the late Thomas H. Wynne, of venerating spirit, was chairman of a committee appointed by the City Council to see to the disposition of an annual appropriation for the care of the cemetery. An early exercise by the committee was the recutting of disfigured epitaphs and the gathering up of fragmentary tombstones and their subse- quent preservation by securing them with iron clamps to the walls of the grounds at its southeast point on the Twenty-fifth street side.
