FLINT CITY.

Whether considered in reference to its position of nearness and accessibility, the availableness of its entire surface
for purposes of interment, the extent, the diversity, and
the beauty of the grounds, its native and varied forestgrowth, or the loveliness of its surrounding landscapes,
Glenwood compares most favorably with other rural cemeteries. To these unsurpassed advantages derived from.
nature must also be added all which has been accomplished
by the unremitting care and toil of human ingenuity.
With the results of the experiment, thus far, as exhibited
in the improvements of the cemetery and its daily mianagement, the community for whose benefit it was- designed
seems to be more than satisfied.
A substantial receiving-vault has been constructed for
use during the period when the frosts of winter make
burial in the grounds impossible, and near the centre of
the cemetery is a commodious chapel where services may
be held.
The present officers of the association are Alexander
MeFarlan, President; Russell Bishop, Vice-President;
Frederick Tracy, Secretary; E. H. McQuigg-, Treasurer;E. LI. Thomson, G. W. Hill, Jerome'Eddy, B. F. S. Card,
E. C. Turner, Leonard Wesson, W. O'Donoughue, Directors.
CALVARY CEMETERY.
Calvary Cemetery is the burial-place exclusively of the
Rlomnan Catholic population of the city of Flinit, and is
located on the Flushing road, about two and a half miles
from the city. It was purchased during the pastorate of
Father Deceuninek, and embraces about six acres. It is
modest in its pretensions, and, though in its general appear.
ance it indicates care and thoughitfulness on the part of
its owners, lays no claim to beauty of design or imposing
memorial structures.
