This inspired epitaph has been emblazoned on the tombs of kings and peasants alike for ages. No more fitting eulogy to that traditional belief can be presented in the description of the new edifice lo- cated in Acacia Park cemetery in Chi- cago, it is said. Within the confines of this beautiful park cemetery a mar- velous structure, dedicated to the pur- pose of making morbid death over into a pleasant slumber amid delicate and exquisite surroundings, nears comple- tion. The new mausoleum is described as the most beautiful of its kind in the world. It is an impressive structure, substantially built of Georgia marble with exquisite and artistic taste. A chapel furnished in excellent taste, with pipe organ and chimes. Family rooms, crypts and urns, are of uniform size and in perfect harmony with the surroundings.
