Text Appearing Before Image:
edly, for few more pleasant spots can be found in the vicinity of Phila-delphia than its burial-places, fitted up as they are with equal taste and elegance. Laurel Hill Cemetery is confessedly the leading cemetery of Philadelphia in size, location,and beauty of adornment. It is situated on a sloping hillside bordering on the Schuylkill;the extensive grounds are skillfully laid out; and the monuments and other decorations areas elaborate as affection could suggest or munificence bestow. The ground is divided intothree sections, known as North, South, and Central Laurel Hill,—the last being the mostrecently added of the three. The plan of the company by which this cemetery was estab-lished was to provide for its patrons a resting-place which should be theirs forever, withoutfear of molestation or disturbance by the ever-lengthening city streets and the ever-growingcity trade, and which they might therefore ornament freely with substantial and enduring PHILADELPHIA AND ITS ENVIRONS. 57
