ON June 20th, 1850, there appeared in the "Olentangy Gazette" of that date, the following notice, the result of suggestions made at a re- cent meeting of the Common Council of the town of Delaware: BURIAL GROUND NOTICE. The citizens of Delaware and vicinity are requested to meet at the Court House, this evening, at 7 1-2 o'clock, to take into consideration the subject of extending the limits of the present Burying Ground, and making a suitable fence around the same; or of changing the location, if necesssary, and selecting a suit- able place for a new one, as the present ground is nearly all occupied. It is hoped that a subject, in which all must be interested, will ensure a general attendance of the citizens. This meeting was numerously attended; Mr. E. Moore acting as Chairman, and Mr. C. C. Chamberlain as Secretary. After a general interchange of opinion on the necessity of immediate action, Dr. R. Hills moved that a committee of five be appointed, to inquire into the propreity of enlarging the present Burying Ground, or of selecting a new one, and report to an adjourned meeting. This motion was adopted, and Dr. R. Hills, Benj. Powers, James Eaton, D. F. McCullough and C. C. Chamberlain, were appointed to the committee. At the adjourned meeting, held at the same place, on the evening of June 29th, 1850, the committee, through their chairman, made a re- port, of which the following is an abstract: Your committee report, that, in regard to the present Burial Ground, Title A name given to the resource Rules and Regulations and Articles of Association of Oak Grove Cemetery (p. 8) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/8aa717a8ba14ada58ebaf97a7e2b6ad3.jpg 0328dc1b7b5d8a322479bce78b4f0df7 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [corresponds to page 6 of Oak Grove Cemetery booklet] 6 the amount of land orginally appropriated--about two acres--has long since been taken up; and that the extensions of Mr. C. C. Cham- berlain, on the north, and Dr. Reuben Lamb, on the south--about two acres more--are nearly all sold. They also find that one acre of ground, belonging to the township, and lying separately from the other by a few rods on the south, is now being used as a pasture in connec- tion with other lands, the monuments being every one broken down, and the inscriptions on nearly all completely effaced. The other grounds are in miserable condition; the fences, partly board, and party worn, are dilapidated; the monuments are some of them broken and defaced, and nearly all leaning in different directions and different degrees; many lots are found to be lapping on each other, and the single carriage avenue or lane through the centre could hardly be found without an expert surveyor, and hogs and cattle are permitted to trample upon and uproot these "houses of the dead" to an extent shameful to the living. Two things are evidently essential to be done under this state of things: the preservation and protection of the old ground, and the pur- chase and appropriation of a new one. The duties of your committee refer only to the latter. An extension of the present ground was first considered; but what was deemed an adequate amount of suitable ground could not be pro- cured--only some eight or ten acres, with three or four of it useless, and at an expense of $200 per acre. The next consideration of the committee was, to ascertain if elsewhere a tract of land could be procured, suitable, in all respects, for a Bury- ing Ground of the character of modern rural cemeteries. After a tho- rough examination in all directions, your committee are unanimous in recommending for this purpose the purchase of the "Kilbourne Farm," a tract of fity acres lying south of the town, one mile distant. A por- tion of this is cultivated, the remainder in a state of nature; the whole undulating and varied in surface, with small rivulets meandering through it. There is also a small frame house, a barn, well, and other improve- Title A name given to the resource Rules and Regulations and Articles of Association of Oak Grove Cemetery (p. 9) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/cd54638311a6bc36f2e03aac6b686ea8.jpg 3ebf119744a1acbb3f12148c224b96d6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [corresponds to page 7 of Oak Grove Cemetery booklet] 7 ments upon the property, and it is understood that it can be procured for thirty dollars per acre. It is certain that no site as eligible as this, in location, accessibility, distance, picturesque views, variety of surface, and as appropriately timbered, can be procured at all. Your committee most decidedly recommend the establishment of a Rural Cemetery, for these, among other reasons. It is in accordance with man's nature, as well as the instinct of the age, to ornament and beautify the sleeping places of the dead. We have all seen the evi- dences of this propensity of the heart, in the turfing of the little hillock, the planting of the rose, the ivy, the evergreen, and beautiful flowers, over the spot where lies the well-remembered dead. With this feeling so strongly implanted in our nature, it is difficult to understand why we appropriate so sparingly of the surface of the earth for the purpose of burial, and especially such public, naked and bleak spots as is custom- ary. It was not always thus; for it was "the field of Ephron,...the field and the cave which was therein, and all the trees which were in the field, and those that were in all the borders round about," that the affectionate heart of the old patriarch, Abraham, prompted him to seek as a "burial place" for "Sarah, his wife." How strangely does this Scriptural picture contrast with the burial places found all over the country, without even an exception until recently ! It is the taste of most persons to visit the graves of the departed-- the places consecrated to memory--and the influence of such practice is unquestionably felt in developing the better feelings of our nature, in chastening the heart and softening down its rough asperities. Let something, then, be done to make attractive these dwelling places of our friends. Let the beauties of nature be fully opened and developed, and combined with the skill of the sculpter, the genius of the architect, and the taste of the florist, to beautify and adorn them. Let the invalid and all others anticipating death, have no other thought than a burial in some sweet, secluded spot, where the green lawn, the spreading oak and bending elm, the cooling shade and rippling water, the rustling leaves and the wild bird's song, and indeed, all the sweet voices of Nature, Title A name given to the resource Rules and Regulations and Articles of Association of Oak Grove Cemetery (p. 10) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/e4a79c02c1081c0112be97945832fcad.jpg ae336e7c72f7183cb893189fb31b69f2 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Your committee, therefore, recommend the adoption of some plan for the purchase of the "Kilbourne Farm," and its improvement for the purposes of a Rural Cemetery. The Report and its recommendations were approved by the meeting, and the same committee were further instructed to report a plan for the organization of a Cemetery Association, to carry into effect the recom- mendations just adopted. On July 13th, 1850, articles of association were adopted and signed by R. Hills, C. C. Chamberlain, D. F. McCullough, James Eaton, B. Powers, T. W. Powell, R. N. Jones, Geo. F. Stayman, C. Hills, C. Platt, E. Moore, S. Rheem, A. A. Welch, Hosea Williams and S. M. Littell; and on August 10th, 1850, by Geo W. Campbell, Geo. Woods Little, W. S. Little, M. L. Griffin, G. W. Stark, II. Van Horn, Asahel Welch and S. Finch. At this meeting, August 10, 1850, Dr. R. Hills, C. C. Chamberlain, James Eaton, B. Powers and D. F. McCullough, were elected Trustees of the Association, and C. Platt, Clerk. This Board was subsequently further organized by the election of Dr. R. Hills as President, and Benj. Powers as Treasurer. A resolution was adopted to organize the Association under the gen- eral act of the Legislature, chartering Cemetery Associations, dated Feb. 24, 1848. A Constitution and By-Laws were adopted. The land was pur- chased of Mr. Kilbourne for the sum of $1,550. The Board decided upon borrowing the sum necessary to meet the first payment of purchase money, and with which to commence improvements.

The impressive ceremony of Dedication was held in the grove, in the north-western portion of the grounds, at 10 o'clock on Thursday, July 20, 1851. The day was a beautiful one, and the concourse of citizens large and attentive. The first burial in the Cemetery was on the day of dedication, imme- diately after the ceremonies of the occasion. An amiable old lady, Mrs. McCracken, who had lived just her allotted time of threescore years and ten, was thus fitly appointed by Providence to lead in this place "the way of all flesh." The exercises in the ceremony of Dedication were as follows: INVOCATION. By the Rev. H. VAN DEMAN, of the First Presbyterian Church. SELECTED ODE. Written by the late B. T.

[This address was mostly a history of the Association, with a general statement of the action of the Board of Trustees, past and prospective. Of the past action a brief statement has already been given, and need not be repeated. Of the latter, it alluded to certain improvements de- cided upon, and in contemplation by the Board, among which was the hedging of the grounds with the Osage Orange so far as practicable, a nursery having been already started for that purpose. A section of ground, something less than one acre, immediately adjoining the en- trance, and upon the right of it, had been reserved, upon which to erect a Gate Lodge, or residence for the superintendent of the grounds. A circular spot of about 900 feet in circumference, on the highest sum- mit of the Ground, and near the front--a most beautiful situation for the purpose--had also been reserved upon which to erect a chapel-- probably at some distant period of time. Allusion was also made to the general principles upon which the Association was based, the provisions of the Charter, the Constitution and By-Laws, and the impression corrected, that a few persons professed to have receieved, to the effect that the Association was established in part as a monetary speculation by a few individuals--the profits from the sales of lots to accrue to them. This was clearly shown to be erro- neous; that all purchasers of lots became part owners of the property, endowed with all the rights and privileges of others, in proportion to the extent of their purchase; that all profits must be applied to the pay- Title A name given to the resource Rules and Regulations and Articles of Association of Oak Grove Cemetery (p. 14) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/ea275db2fc48a094de23b0f9db6ea26f.jpg eeb934e2504fe98ae8cb45871f502980 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The address closed with an announcement, that preparations were now completed for the sale of lots, and an appropriate allusion was made to the first burial upon the grounds, which was to take place on that same day.] DEDICATORY ADDRESS, By the Rev. F. MERRICK, Professor in the Ohio Wesleyan University. "DUST THOU ART, AND UNTO DUST SHALT THOU RE- TURN," was the fiat of Him with whom alone are the issues from death, when the first human pair had by transgression provoked his just displeasure. And from the day the decree went forth even until now, death has swayed his sceptre over the nations, and laid low in the grave each succeeding generation. No age, no circumstances have shielded from his remorseless blow. The infant, sleeping upon its mother's breast, has opened its eyes to close them in the sleep of the grave. The bloom of health upon the cheek of youth has faded, the strength of manhood bowed at the approach of the destroyer, while old age has tottered on its way to the tomb. The relations of parent and child, brother and sister, husband and wife, friend and lover, have Title A name given to the resource Rules and Regulations and Articles of Association of Oak Grove Cemetery (p. 15) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/9155ce1caf5f1b0082d562e523cd65e0.jpg dd45578308f0296a922b1645951a1cbb Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Kings have laid aside their robes of royalty, for the habiliments of the tomb; and the beggar in his rags has been borne to his final resting place. The warrior, death's most faithful ally, has at last himself fallen before the mighty archer. The student in his retirement, the man of business in the public mart, the Christian in his closet, and the sensualist in his place of debauch, has each met the dread summons, and passed away. Amid the soft zephyrs of spring, the sultry heats of summer, the decay of autumn, and the frosts of winter, death alike has reveled. "Leaves have their times to fall, And flowers to wither at the north wind's breath, And stars to set : but all-- Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O Death!" Since, therefore, death must pass upon all, it is meet we should provide a suitable spot as the last resting place for the mortal remains of ourselves and friends. I say suitable spot, for since death is an event of so much interest, it cannot be a matter of indifference where rest the sleeping dead. But to select and pre- pare such a spot is no easy task. He who attempts it, should have correct views of life, death, and immortal- ity. He should know what it is to shed the tear of Title A name given to the resource Rules and Regulations and Articles of Association of Oak Grove Cemetery (p. 16) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/77b6795937c978aed78b4cb90a96892f.jpg 12655d6c07e643de87dcc39f45e14950 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

With such views and feelings, he will blend the joy- ous and the sad; for death must ever be regarded as a sad event. "Yea, though promises and hopes strive to cheat its sadness: Full of grief, though faith herself is strong to speed the soul; For the partner of its toil is left behind, to endure the ordeal of change." Men have, indeed, in all ages labored hard to disarm death of his terrors. They have greeted his approach with songs, have decked his victims with flowers, and filled their resting place with cheerful light. Poesy has sung of the quiet of the grave, and satirized the fear of death; while philsophy has recommended a cheer- ful submission to the unavoidable decision of fate. "Still death is terrible--the tear, The groan, the knell, the pall, the bier, And all we know, or dream, or fear Of agony, are his." And the grave--where the eye, the cheek, and the lip of beauty fade, and where the lovely form moulders back to dust--tell me not it has no gloom, nor forbid the falling tear. Hence, thou cold philosopher and dreamy poet, until ye have learned the language of nature, and then ye will bid me stand with the Saviour beside a brother's grave and weep.

But thanks be to God, through whose word "life and immortality are brought to light." "Thy daed men shall live; together with my dead body shall they arise," is its glorious announce- ment. Yes, the grave shall unloose its prisoner, and the ocean's depth uncover the sleeper upon its coral bed. To those who sleep in Christ, there comes a morn of gladness,-- "When love's soft dew o'er every eye Shall shed its mildest rays, And the long silent dust shall burst With shouts of endless praise." Then should the place of sepulture have its lonely glen and sunny hill-side. There should fall the shade of the cypress, the laurel, and the willow; and there, too, should bloom the amaranth, the lily, and the rose. How well adapted is this spot to the use to which we this day dedicate it-- "Midst holy prayers, and generous grief, and consecrating blessings," I need not say. All must feel that, when completed, it will harmonize sweetly with the feelings of the hopeful mourner.

Here bring your dead, and bury them from your sight. Here let the father and the mother sleep, and by their side their children. In some sequestered spot, where bloom the sweetest, loveliest flowers, find a rest- ing place for her, to whom, next to God, thou gavest thy heart's best love--thy wife; and on her grave sprinkle the green locust leaves; and when thy race is run, lay thee down by her side to rest. Where the myrtle and the thyme shed their perfume, bury thy sister; and beneath the oak, around which the wood- bine twines, let the manly form of thy brother find repose. In some soft shade make the grave for thy infant, and on it plant the violet. If monumental marble tell who and where the sleeper is, let chaste simplicity give it form and make the record. Oh, it is a sad thing to see the pride and vanity of the living finding expression upon the same stone which records the humiliating victory of the grave.

Here let the infidel come, and see how dark and gloomy is the grave into which the light of revelation shines not; and here let the Christian come, and with an apostle sing, "Oh death, where is thy sting? Oh grave, where is thy victory? Thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ." Here let all come and gain pricelss lessons of wisdom. But let none rush rudely within these sacred enclosures--these precincts of the dead. Along these avenues let the wheel roll slowly, and the foot fall lightly. Let not the loud voice disturb the meditations of the thoughtful, nor the merry peal break harshly upon the ear of the grief stricken mourner.

But not thus always. An end shall come.

No person shall have any use of, or title to a lot, until the same is paid for; and if not paid for within ten days from the date of selection or purchase, the selection shall be forfeited. 2. No transfer of any lot will be permitted, without the consent of the Board of Trustees. 3. No tree or shrub shall be removed from any lot, or any material alteration made in its surface, without the consent of the Board. [NOTE.--The propriety of this rule is evident; for though the lot itself might be improved, yet great injury might accrue to the adjoining lots, or to the beauty and interest of the entire grounds.] 4. All enclosures of lots must be placed on the lot itself, and must never exceed three and a half feet in height.

[NOTE.--Everything erected of wood is quickly perishable, and soon assumes that dilapidated condition of which every common grave yard has many examples, as perfect eye-sores. Better, a great deal, that there be no enclosed lots; especially as the entire grounds are to be well protected. The Board desire in the very start to suppress and prevent these destructives of beauty. Much more beautiful, more permanent, and far cheaper enclosures can be made of little hedges of some favorite shrub, either deciduous or evergreen. Or expensive ones may be made of stone and iron, of chains, of wire, &c. The Board, through their officers, will be able and willing to furnish suggestions upon these subjects to those desiring them.] 5. Two or more lots may be included in one en- closure, by arrangement between owners. [NOTE.--The cost of enclosing will thus be cheapened, and the general good effect in appearance will oftentimes be increased. Relatives and neighbors might often be induced to make their selections of lots with this view.] 6.Proprietors of lots may improve and adorn their lots, and the adjoining borders, with trees, shrubs, plants, hedges, &c.; but all such improvements must have the sanction of the Board of Trustees or their agents.

Proprietors of lots may build any suitable monu- ment or monuments thereon, provided that no slab- stone placed upright shall be more than two and a half feet in height, and it is recommended that they be placed so as to face the avenues. [NOTE.--The Board are sensible that they will come in con- flict with past custom and practice in this rule more than in any other. One intention is, to do away entirely with the ordinary thin slab head-stone, as a monument which, though well enough in a crowded, old fashioned grave-yard, with its military style of order and precision, is entire unsuited to the character of a rural, picturesque Cemetery. This can only be appreciated fully by those who have seen the latter; and time will be requisite to reconcile the minds of many to the requirements of the rule. But eventually all will acknowledge the propriety of the restriction. The position of the stone, and impliedly that of the grave, is also of importance. That graves should be dug at a uniform point of the compass, and the head-stones and monuments be placed cor- respondingly, without reference to the locality and direction of avenues, is incompatible with the general design and object; and the idea of a rural Cemetery might as well be abandoned, if this were permitted. The Board will be provided with plans and de- signs of monuments with which to aid persons in deciding with true taste and judgment before any outlay. A plan has recently been introduced of erecting what is termed a "family monument," to be placed in the centre or front of the lot, to contain the re- cords for those buried around, and blank spaces for additional Title A name given to the resource Rules and Regulations and Articles of Association of Oak Grove Cemetery (p. 34) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/7a0e1fc3539a5ffae6e31e5142657e08.jpg e90bae18552e87e5aca6828507816a6f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

All plans of enclosures, monuments, vaults, tombs, or other structures, shall be submitted to and approved by the Board of Trustees, or their appointed officers, before they can be erected; and if any monu- ment, railing, or other structure, any inscription, any tree, shrub, or plant, or any portion thereof, shall be decided, by four-fifths of the Board of Trustees, to be offensive, improper, or in any way injurious to the general interests of the Association, they shall have power, and it shall be their duty to change or remove the same. 9. All materials for improvements shall be depos- ited under the direction of the Superintendent, and shall not remain longer than necessary; and all rub- bish shall be removed by the proprietor without delay. 10.

Application must in all cases be made to the clerk, or, in his absence, to some member of the Board, for an order to the Superintendent to open the grave.

The surface of the ground over graves should always be kept nearly level, or nearly in its natural shape, and not raised into unsightly mounds. [NOTE.--The practice of raising mounds on the surface of the earth, of the form of the grave, was intended to meet the subse- quent sinking of the earth; but this equally unsightly appearance will always be promptly remedied by the Superintendent. These coffin-shaped hillocks do not harmonize with the spirit that should prevail in such a place--the Spirit of Nature, in all her simpli- city, beauty and purity. One means of preventing the sinking of the earth, is to have the lower part of the grave built up with durable brick, and covered with thin slabs of stone, instead of using boards, as is customary, which must in a little time give way and thus occassion the sinking.] Title A name given to the resource Rules and Regulations and Articles of Association of Oak Grove Cemetery (p. 38) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/fd7dee0e08a554af57e3ac594d5ad13a.jpg d04daaac99081e6b79ad35a06b4165f3 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
