FIREMEN’S MONUMENTS
Monuments erected in memory of firemen who have died on duty, or in cemetery plots devoted to their burial, are not always conceived in the best possible taste or executed in the most lasting material. Yet there is no reason why such memorials should not be rendered highly ornamental and be built of ever during granite or some other such time and weatherdefying material. The accompanying illustration of the granite monument erected by the citizens of Manchester, N. H., to the memory of such of their number as fell in battle or died of wounds or disease during the Civil war, might well be taken as the type of a firemen’s memorial—subject, of course, to such modifications both as to price and design as should bring it within the means of those who erect it, and render it suitable for the intended object.
