PLAN OF M^OUNT. AUBURN CEMETERY.

the entire place is that of Theodore
Winthrop post 35, G. A. R., of Chelsea.
It is splendidly situated, and the big
ot is marked by a monument formed
of four cannon loaned by the United
States government. This cemetery is a
great resort for Grand Army posts on
Decoration day, no less than five dif-
ferent organizations decorating graves
there.

Its old tower is in itself worth a

with them repose Peter Faneuil, Paul
Revere, the parent of Benjamin Frank-

sacre.

A burial ground of still later date is

the Central, located on the Common.

ground on Charter street is a famous
old place, but Decoration day visitors

family. For these and for the South
