Excerpt from Forest Hills Cemetery: Its Establishment, Progress, Scenery, Monuments, Etc Forest hills cemetery, although of recent origin, has rapidly grown in public favor, and the number of those who are now interested in it is so large, that the publication of a book giving an account of its establishment, its consecration, scenery, monuments, etc., may at least prove acceptable to many persons. This volume has been prepared rather for the use of proprietors of burial lots there, or others who are interested in the sacred spot by tender associations, than for the general reader, who might perhaps find too much of detail and dulness in its pages.
