Other Domestic Animals Often Elaborate. 1t looks just like any other cemetery, its row after row of old and new graves, marked all kinds of at- tractive headstones and nestled on a hillside near # grove of trees—but there the resemblance ends. Take. for instance, a typical epitaph like this “Born a Dog or “You Will Live Little Brown Nose.” or “Peter 1920. ust a ved." You have guessed it This is a cemetery for four-legged friends of man, from dog to horse, and one lot is rescrved for a two-legged pet, an aged parrot. owned by a Maryland family Lived a Gentleman.” in Our Hearts, Pan Townsend. August Little - Cat, But Greatly Be by this time Beyond District Line. This strange burial place is located far beyond the District line on the Brookeville pike. not far from St Mary's Ipiscopal Chapel. It is on the property of R, C. Birney. dog. fancler [ breeder, who has wi the interment there of nearly 00 house- 1d pets A serious business, these interments. Nothing t about them. Some ure simple, though solemn affairs, in- volving the careful placing of the deceased in the little hole and a sob or two as the dirt is thrown in. Others are extremely elaborate, marked by “eremony and the shedding of many tears. Many of the dogs were em- balmed before burial and some of the interments have cost hundreds of dollars. “Some of the owners pretty bad,” Mr. Birne vesterday. “One woman was so over- come with grief that she hysterically velled: ‘Don’t put him in that c esed take things explained THE - EVENIN( Cold ground. 1 can't stand to see it. Just think—he was never out alone at night before in his life’ With that she fell over into the grave in a faint and we had a hard time re- viving her One Faneral Elaborate. “Another lady, Mrs. Selma Snook who lives on Newton has had two very Impressive funerals here for her dogs. That's her lot there. Last year we had a regular funcral here Mrs. Snook felt so badly about the death of her pet that she had him placed in an expensive white steel- fined casket with silver handles, and the casket was escorted to the grave by & score of dog mourners and ‘hon- orary pallbearers. Mrs ok was gressed In heavy mourning and she Wept at frequent intervals. A bunch of motion picture camera men, who had gotten wind of the plans, were on hand and took pictures of the proces- sion.” The “Snook” lot, by the is one of the most attractive the | grounds. At its boundarles are stone markers and chain barriers, and with- In are four marble tombstones. each about two feet high, with the follow- ing inscriptions: Boots Snook Born 1908 Died April 30, 1921 Dear Old Fal street way, on ster Snook Born February 3. Died_October 5, Born a Dog Lived a Gentlemar Faithful Until Death Died Beloved rixie Snook Born Ju Died Jul est Friends eeping Side b. I Love and Miss You Snowball Snook Born April 18, 1908 Died July 8, 19 Dear Beloved Pet True, Faithful Until Death Loved Her Dearly, Cat Buried Outside Lot. Just outside the inclosure is another “Snook” grave. This one is of a cat, however, and why it was not put inside the lot may or may not be in line with Mr. Birney's statement that “they would never have gotten along together.” The cat was named Blacky, and the stone on her grave merely gives her name, the dates of her birth and death and the words: “I Miss You.” One of the latest burials was that of one of dogdom’s most distinguished per- sonages. He was said to have been the first German police dog to be brought over here after the war. He had been n the thick of many battles overseas and was the holder of numerous medals for bravery, Mr. Birney declared “1 don’t know his name and am not at liberty now to give you the name of his owner, a Washington man, but I understand that & fund of several thousand dollars s being raised in for a monument to him, to be erected over his grave here.” Mahogany Casket for Dog. Teft, New nother police dog, came from York for interment. He was in a mahogany, steel-lined casket with silver trimmings. Many prominent Washington fam- ilies have buried their pets in this place. Mrs. Richard Townsend was the owner of Petgr Pan Townsend, whose epitaph was cited above. A police puppy to which the daughter of former Attorney General Palmer became greatly attached has a stone bearing the name ‘“Jean, 7 months.” The “Ruiz family,” well known in diplomatic circles, have erected a stone to “Our Larry.” Mrs. Phil Sheri- dan was the owner of “Biddy,” whose tombstone is appropriately carved. One stone, inscribed “Bootsie Barn- hert,” was erected by Dr. Grant S Barnhart, Mr. Birney said Only One Horse Grave. There is but one horse grave. 1t is that of Vincent, raised by Miss Bessie Johnson of Richmond, from a colt. He died at the ripe old age of 24 years, and as he was being low- ered into the ground an old darky, employed by Miss Johnson, dropped to | his knees and cried piteously. Miss Johnson brought violets from the Richmond meadow where Vincent cut capers as a colt and they are start- ing to Dbloom over his grave now. | Vincent's mate, nearly a quarter of a century old, is not expected to last much longer and when he dies Miss Johnson will bury him’beside his pal, Mr. Birney pointed out. Each head stone or wooden marker tells a story of animal devotion and of a master's attachment for the dumb beast whose body lies beneath the grourd. This attachment does not end with the animal's death. As the Spring days of the ensuing weeks make traveling more agreeable, each day, almost, will bring a thoughtful mas- ter or mistress to the grass-grown grave of his pet, and hands which once were licked by the faithful beast will re- | turn their measure of appreciation by | cut | placing on the little mound flowers, a wreath or a potted plant. “To me, in this work-a-day, self- tsh. world,” Mr. Birney said, “those stones there tell a beautiful story. Maybe we all aren't as jazz-crazed and pleasure-mad as some people would have us belleve." + STAR, WASHING C .
