Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from By-Laws and Rules of Mountain View Cemetary Association: With History and Appendix
We have come together here, under the open meridian sky, to set apart with appropriate ceremonies of religious faith this fair area, in reverent acknowledgment of the claims of Death. If, in the strife and struggle of the men of this world, we have any of us thought to hold it by prior right, to-day we relinquish our title, and of our own free will and accord sign the deed that runs in fee simple to him and his heirs forever. We hold no controversy with him, neither dispute his privilege. We claim, however, that in his own name and right he has no victory over us; and we reserve for ourselves, here and now.
