OUR SILENT, SOLEMN CITY.” A Reflective Walk Among the Graves of Prospect Hill HERE TURNS THE EYE OF GRIEF Establishment of the Cemetery and Present Columns—M Past The Four Broken ny Costly Mon- uments—Burial Vanlts, [ Written for the On The cemetery is the mirro In itssilence and solemnity of the city truthfully reflects the buzz and bustle of the merry marts and active industries of thos in a very short time will retire from hife to swell the great armyof the dead Nearly thirty years ago Prospeet Hill, the pioncer burying place of Omaha,was ded acated to the dead. Like all surroundings of the community from whence its ro eruits were expected o come it was then f prairie pasture; its metes and bounds were visible on the plats and records, but in reality no fence or paling enclosod its sacred procinets nor eried halt to roam- ing kine who desired to browse on its nu tritious grasso: Its graves for many months wore few, like the tenoments of the living in the embryo city which it overlook: Funeral processions depos itea beloved ones within its arca with proportionate frequency to the advent of settlors from trans-Missouri points in the new Nebraska town. As time wore on and Omaba's swadling clothes were thro wn off for the garments of precocious wouth, which was in time suc ceeded by powerful and progressive municipal man hood, so too “God’s haif acre” gradually changed from its crudo original da; The mounds that marked a mortal de ed becume more numer- ous, expensive monuments began to ap- pear here and there as if mimicing of tho rising of costly structures in the city, and the wealth that was coming to hon- st toil and lucky commercinl speculation was shadowed in the marble and granite marks that began to add to the beanty of Prospect Hill. The trees were growing, their sylvan panoply became more and more cxtensive, and denser became the slade over the SEPULCHRE OF THE DEAD, while the living slept. In fact, Prospect Aill, from its perch on the high'elevation north of the city, naturally kept o with Omaha in Yu]ml-llinn‘ and credita- bly walked hand in hand with it in im- provement, until to-day it is worthy of the lamented and beloved ones whose earthly remains it clains for all time. In the year 1857 about twenty acres wore purchased, and Omaba’s largest and most ornamental resting place of the dead had its birth. James “’huhip. the father of Mrs. D. T. Mount and Mrs. Martin_ Dunham was the first person buried in this cemetry. THE FIRST MONUMENT {wg‘im the ground aygs thyg plyced o0 o, grave Gyt a0y Biother of Herman Kountzé of this ity who departed this life in Dakota City, Neb,, September 6, 1838. That or! 1 lg'nunlstunv was orcoted by M. J. Fechan, the first monument designer and con- structor who located in Nebraska. To- day that lone grave is marked by an im- posing stono of Italinn marble; the ju- seriboil tablot recitos nmlfi‘rthul William, ol of C, and M, Kountze, at Osnaberg, 0., Apry] 11, 1836, and his death twen two yents afterwhards in the territors Nebraska. Near by within the same c: fully kept inclosure is a little gr marked by one of the protticst marble head pieces in the cemetery, On a low stand is an exquisitel; . containing flowers, and underneath is the name of the child-flower who faded quietly from the season of life to bloom in the eclestinl garden of the angels— “Little May, daughter of Herman and Elizabeth K’mmm, born August 21, 1868; died June 11, 1870.”" OLD AND NEW REGIME, Upto n year ago Byron Reed owned Prospect ufil, and it was conducted un- der his management, The vetoran George Medlock was sexton, and now, on his re- tirement, can say that he has ofticiated at the lust sud rites of more Nebraskans than any man living. Very properly an assoclation succeeded an individual in proprietorship of the cemetery, and hange in the care of the grounds is strikingly noticeable: ~Messrs. J. . Brown, I5. K. Long, George Joslyn, J. W. Ganuett, Jumes Forsyth, O. F. Davis aod Dr. O. S. Wood constitute the company. The first named gontle- men i3 president, the second, cle and the third, — treasurer. J. Daniels 1s superintendent and M Pruitte sexton, both of whom have many years’ experience in cemetery and it 1s only necessary to see the b ful Prospect Hill of to.day to know at once that they are ITHFUL TO THE(R TRUST. Th ume association also eontrels Forest Lawn, the new burial round noar Florence, which will soon Je open for interments, and to which many bodies now resting in Prospect Hill will be remioved, first nmong them being the remains of James H. Brackin, tho fathor ot the new cemetery. Pros- poct Hill has now a sacred population of 115, representing all classes and ages of this Omaha (\ummuulL_Y. Nearly overy old, pronunent family has its representa- tive and tears to-day bedew many a grassy mound that roceived 1its beloved tenants years and years ago. During the Iust “five_or six years upwards of $60,000 have been expended by private persons inmonumental remembrances and i beautifying the lots, The general improvement of the grounds has been hiberally attended to and the Prospect Hill of 1886 is no more like that of 1857, or even 18 than is the Owaha of the present to be compared with the Omaha of & decade past. 'To my mind the most striking monument is that over the single grave of the four boys who were blown to Piecesin the terrible explosion of the pow- der house sonthof the city, Febrnary 27, 1884. It is of French gray marble. Four small broken columns mark the corners of a square pedestal surmonnting a gran- ite base. Simple 1s the design, pure the rosult of the earver's work, but to those who aro conversant with the details of that awful tragedy of 1584, that cast a shadow over four hearthstones in this city, which no change of time nor success of fortune can destroy, this memorial is sacredly and strikingly suggestive, 1he tour sides of the base bear appropriate inscriptions, telling of the occupauts of 1K SINGLE GRAVE, commencing on as_follow; side William R., son of Charles and Henry Ab- noy, died February 27, 1534, aged 16 years, 8 months and 1 day. “Parents, good-night; my work is donc; 1o to rest with the setting sun, But not to wake with the morning light; 80 dearest parents, a long good-night,” g around to the west appears: J. son of ).

Prospect Hill is now numerously marked with costly monuments, the Barre ranite and white marble of Vermont, the best stone of Ohio and the finest material from France and Italy having passed throu artistic _hands for ~beautiful embvelish- ments in ornaments and letterings, to add to theartificial beauty of the grounds. Almost all the lots are enclosed with coving and decorated fences or marked with suggestive corner stones. Tho green sward is shaved down to oarpet fineness and tender hands have made gardens over the graves of their Joved ones departed. Even those whose living kin are in far off parts have wot lackel attention, and Omaha’s fow rores devoted to the dead compare favorably with the burial places of tho oldest cities whero climate and age permit the ivy to twine its emerald tendrils around tho memorial shufts, where evergroens cast their most solemn shades, where the cypress tells its living story of death and the weeping willow and ash bow down their heads in mute reverence to the dust bencath them. I was informed that there are many residents of Omaha who make daily visits to Prospeet Hill to meditate ai the graves of their dear ones, and as tho names struck my ear 1 recog: nized at once they were the best people among us. Those who ure always prom- inent for good ana whose hearts, minds and acts have n noble formation. Per- haps the finest monuments in Prospect Hill are those of the Caldwell and the Horbach families. The former 1s of cot- tage design, 6x8 feot at the base and 8 foot high. 1t is of the best Westerly granite and polished like a gem. In its shade lie the remains of the lamented S. 8. Caldwell and bis two children, Joseph and Anna. Directly opposite is the Hor- bach monument, which is also of cottage design, very similar in size and design to the first named, but tho constructive ma- terial is Burre granita, Somight be m tioned a bundred urn-capped and ¢ pery-dressed stones of various designs in Lhe family lots of Hitcheock and Monell, J. 4.

Doane, Peycke, — Aust, Bauman, Boyd, Hayden, Biendorf, Althaus, Baldwin, Allen, Segelke, Pomy, Withnell, Atkinson, Frank Brown, Mallctie, Drexel, Enos Lowe, Barton, Barkalow, Bartley Miller, McCandlish, - Pundt, Redman, Peabody, Sharpe, and man other names, the mere mention of which are in lifo identified with tho best intorests— social, commercial and religious—of Owaba. The prominent sold: is that of the once popular General Silas A. Strickland, who deparied his life March 81,1873, It18 a neat marble stone, ap- propriately draped, and was erected by his comrades of the G. A. R. The in- scriptions are, on one side, A gallant soldier, u true patriot''; on the opposite, “From the G. A. R, in fraternity, char- ity and loyalty."” ‘Ihe wonument in the Clarke lot tells sad story, the death of Origen’ D. Richardsou, Nov. 29, 1876, aged 81 yoars, and that' of his widow, Sarah P, Dee. 2, 1876, aged 76, three days afterwards. They were laid to rest December 4, 1876, together, after ha g fougbt the guud figut and lived to a ripe old age. ‘l,uvelf and pleasant in their lives—in death they were not divided,” are the words that compose their epitaph. THE THREE VAULTS. There are only three vaulted tombs in Prospect Hill, those of the late G. W. Homan, J. M. Clarke and the late George M. Mills. They are of surface construe- tlon, very plainly built of brick and Richardson- stucco, and do not compare at all fayc ably with the elegant taste displayed in the' many monuments of the cemetery. The first was crected at the time the first Mrs. Homan died, several years ago When Mr. Homan joined her on shadowy shore a few weeks ago, remains were placed in the vault and it was sealed up forever. The Clarke vault is somewhat larger, and_within it rosts all that is mortal of Mrs Clarke. ‘The door of the Mills’ vault is securcly fastened with a combination safe lock and on an entablature is written: “There is s natural body and there isa spiritual body.” “Here lies the earthly tenement occupied by George M. Mills for sixty-nine years, ten nionths and two days, and who departed therefrom on the 16th” day of January, 1578, for another sphere of existence.” “Death is only a necessary incldent in the progress of man toward his immortal aestiny, Progress is the great law of nature, perfee- tion the sphiere of the infinite,” Somo distance to the south from the cemetery proper is the burial place of Jesse Lowe. It1s surrounded by a high, substantinl iron fenc and neatly adorned with & high monument in the centre, several urns mark ing the particular graves, various flower beds, many trees of appropriate selection, and marble walks lead from the circum terence of the enclosure to the monu- mental shaft in the centre. Jesse Lowe was one of the founders of Omaha and its first mayor, and most extensive property-owner of early days. From him the sito ot the cemetery was obtammed, and his remains rest to-day on ground he located when there was no Omaha, and but little thought of Prospect Hill. Within this burial place lie the remains of the late Col. E. ¥, Smythe, and other members of the Lowe family, whose name is 8o intimately connccted with the history of Omaha, and the surviving members of which stand so high insocia. circles now.

Chicagn Times, The election beld by the Grand Army of the Republic at its session in San Franeisco resulted in placing at the head of that body us commander-in-chief ex- Governor Lucius Fairchild, of Wisconsin, Fiye candidates wers before the body, all of whom are men of eminence and na- tional reputation, and any one of whom would have well filled the important and honcerable position. The choiee of Gov- ernor Fairchild was secured by a lar, majority of votes, and wus then immedi- ately made unanimous. Governor Fairchild isa man who, al- though well known, i1s far from being approciated by the general public to the extent which he desevves. His life has been an eventful one; his sorvices both to the state and the country have beeu of & commanding character; and yet, owing to a peculiar reticence on his part, and to a modesty of demeanor and action that has few parallels, his value and merits are far from being understood as they deserve Lo be by the world outside of the community in”which he resides. He is yet but a young msan ina comparative bum[i only 65 years of age, and him the years in which intel- ty,s vast and ripe experience, and conscientious motives can attain their highest results. He received as a boy such educational advantages as wore afforded in a country region, and began his real struggle ns & *‘forty niner” in California, and in which contest he secured much of the firmne colf-reliance, and_determination chara teristic of his after life. lle came east and studied law, but before he could put his new profession in practice the war broke out, and he went to the front, starting in'as a captain_and finishing brigadier general.

A democrat befc the war, on his foreed ry ment from the service he was twice eleeted governor of Wisconsin by the republicans, and he held oflices of ini- portance till 1871, when he was sent ubroad as consul to Liverpool. In this position he was engaged in a line of duties which afforded no opportunity for examination and admiration on the part of the world, by which, iu reality, are not the least arduous and valuable of his career, He was the bardest-working con- sul in the service of the government, and he filled his place with a fidelity, in- telligence, and conscientiousness that have never been excelled, His mastery of the principles of international law and commerce was especially noted by the Enghsh press, nm} made the subjcet of unqualified commendation. At a later period he officiated as con sul general at Paris, and for a time was the minister of the United States at the Spanish court, and in _each instance filled the place with effectiveness and dignity. He was one of the very few American representatives abroad that gave strict attention to their duties, and he was able to grace bis_position with all the courtesics and refinements apper- taining to the character of a finished nen. Wherever he was placed he himself and nis oflice respected, and especially in, Englaud did he suc ceed in creating a respect for an Ame can officiul far nboye the average enter: tained for our éonsular and other repre- sentatives.
