in pieces with a simple scotia moulding, one foot eight inches thick. Above this is a five-inch course in pieces. Under this rest two large blocks ten feet long and five feet wide, on which rest the narrow blocks which support the sarcophagus proper and its cover. The total height above the floor of the crypt is seven and a half feet.

General Grant expressed a wish to be buried at either West Point, New York City, or Galena, Illinois. As it was his request that his wife should be buried with him, the interment could not be made at West Point. His second choice was New York, and the request regarding his wife being complied with, New York was selected by his family.

Mrs. Grant is buried within a similar sarcophagus placed beside that of her husband, bearing the name JULIA GRANT.

RUTHERFORD B. HAYES.

Buried in Oakwood Cemetery at Fremont, Ohio.

Mr. Hayes in 1892 erected a family monument consisting of a monolith of sarcophagus shape, cut from granite procured at Summerstown, Vermont, the home of his parents.

JAMES A. GARFIELD.

Buried September 26, 1881, at Lake View Cemetery, Cleveland, Ohio. The memorial over his remains stands on a wide stone terrace ten feet high, reached by two flights of wide-spreading stone steps. The terrace rises above the surrounding roadways from five to thirty feet, as the ground slopes away from the base of the terrace wall. The memorial is in the shape of a circular tower, and rises to an extreme height of one hundred and forty-eight feet, with a diameter of fifty feet.

The whole of the exterior of the monument is executed in Berea, Ohio, sandstone, the general surface being left rock-faced, while the dressings around the doors, windows, arcadings, roof, etc., are cut and encircled with carvings.

The tower is crowned with a conical-shaped stone roof, terminating in a large carved stone finial; the roof is built in regular courses, and the face of the stone so cut as to represent bands of sunken tile ornaments. Under the bold designed cornice of the roof is an arcade of twelve arched windows and niches; each niche contains pedestals and canopies designed to receive colossal allegorical statues of each month in the year; below this is carved a band of shields bearing the coat of arms of each of the States.

At the front base of the tower there projects to the distance of twenty feet a square porch or door to the monument. It is forty-five feet high and pierced with coupled windows on the front and sides, above which is a frieze decoration divided into five panels, containing terra-cotta basreliefs of the career of Garfield as teacher, soldier, statesman, and President (the fifth representing his body as lying in state): at the country school; as the chief of staff of General Rosecrans at the battle of Chickamauga ; as addressing an outdoor meeting and taking the oath of President of the United States. One hundred and ten figures are worked in these panels. Two turrets against the tower are used for spiral stairways to reach the balcony or porch roof. The porch interior is vaulted in stone, with a pavement of mosaic.

Through the porch in the tower is the memorial temple or shrine; over the inside of the tower doorway is seated an allegorical figure of War fully armed, also a figure representing Peace holding an olive branch, typical of the camp and court services of Garfield. Beneath this grouping is an inscription :

The mortuary is circular, and in its centre, on a marble paved dais, upon a pedestal of Italian marble, is a heroic marble figure of Garfield, representing him as just risen from his chair in Congress and about to address the House. The statue was modelled by George Doyle of New York.

Surrounding the statue are eight massive, deep-colored, double granite columns, supporting a dome twenty-two diameter.

GARFIELD MEMORIAL.

in

Just above the columns is a rich frieze of marble mosaic, an allegorical representation of the funeral procession. Occupying the central panel is Columbia and her daughter States, in grief; to the right Law, followed by Senators and Representatives; Justice, preceding members of the Supreme Court of the United States; Concord, emblematic of sympathy of nations, indicated by Ambassadors of Europe, Orientals, Indians; symbolic group of distant States, a veteran with his aged wife delegating their son to

deposit their offering; Labor, a spade and steam engine, indicative of hand and machine labor; Literature, followed by the author, teacher and pupils; War, leading types of the military and naval service in the act of lowering the American flag.

At the base of the dome, on a background of red and white stripes, is a band of wreaths conjoined, alternately immortelles and laurel (heavenly immortality and earthly glory). The number of wreaths correspond with the number of States and Territories.

The dome is entirely inlaid with Venetian mosaic, and winged figures

of North, South, East, and West are in alternate sections, in their proper cardinal points, stars forming a band in the upper part.

The memorial panels and windows that light the mortuary contain female figures representing the thirteen original States and Ohio.

The body of Garfield is in the crypt underneath the statue buried in a bronze casket. The entrance to the crypt is by two spiral stairways from the back of the mortuary.

The memorial was designed by Mr. George Keller of Hartford, Connecticut.

The total contribution to the fund, April 1, 1889, is given by the Association as $134,755.76, divided as follows:

Buried in Rural Cemetery at Albany, New York, in the Arthur family burial plot, which is located on one of the highest knolls, and is approached by a broad flight of five granite steps; the pedestals of its balustrade have bronze urns resting upon them. Granite pillars with heavy bronze chains rail in the balance of the enclosure.

In the centre of the plot is the monument a stone sarcophagus. The sarcophagus is eight feet long, four feet wide, and three feet high, and is made from a single block of Quincy granite, perfectly plain and highly polished. It is supported by two plain, highly polished pedestals of the same material, resting upon a broad base of Vermont granite, much lighter in color than the sarcophagus itself. The base is supported by a smoothly dressed granite plinth, ten feet long and six feet broad. Upon the granite base, raised in high relief, is the word

ARTHUR

and sunken into the face of this base is a tablet of bronze, with the inscription:

At the foot of the sarcophagus stands a bronze figure in heroic size, representing Sorrow. It stands with folded wings leaning against the sarcophagus, one wing being thrown outward by the pressure in the most animated manner. The right arm of the figure hangs listlessly downward,

touching one of the bronze wings; the left arm is extended along the top of the sarcophagus in the act of laying a palm leaf on the tomb; the palm is of bronze extending lengthwise and falling gracefully over the northern end. The figure is six feet and a half high. The monument was designed by Mr. E. Keyser of New York, and cost $11,000; the amount defrayed by personal friends of Mr. Arthur. Dedicated June 15, 1889.

Near by is a white marble sarcophagus, marked in old English letters with the words:

The monument stands in Crown Hill Cemetery, Indianapolis, Indiana. Mr. Harrison was buried March 17, 1901. His first wife is buried in the same plot, the name CAROLINE SCOTT HARRISON appearing on a headstone that marks her grave.
