Excerpt: ...These hills slope to' its water's edge with a steady descent, giving the lake a very interesting appearance. A Swiss man by the name of J. R. Hoesli, now deceased, once informed the writer, that whena young man, he came to America and made his residence in New York city for twenty years. Becoming sick of city life, and retaining a strong attachment for the scenerylof the home of his youth, by the side of a lake in Switzerland, he started in search among the lakes of our Northen States, for one that should bear the closest resemblance to his home lake. After visiting great numbers of them, both in Northern New England and in this State, he finally came to Otisco lake; and the moment his eyes rested on its waters, with its surrounding scenery, he felt that his strongest desires had heen granted him-that here was his sweet Swiss lake. At the t'.me Mr. Hoesli gave me this information, he had already resided on its Eastern shore for nearly twenty years, in possession of several acres of land under the highest state of cultivation; a portion of which was devoted to a vineyard containing twentyfive varieties of grapes in a very fruitful condition, besides trees of Apples, Pears, Peaches and Plums in a high state of perfec tlon. Mr. Hoesli was a man of superior endowments of mind and and culture. _Was a first-class Civil Engineer; having received a /medal from one of the crowned heads of Europe, as an insignia of his services in that department. He exhibited a thorough knowledge of Chemistry, and particularly as applied to Agriculture. Here on the shore of this lovely sheet of water, in retirement, he gratified the natural taste of his life in reading, writing and pursuing the study of the sciences, and in the supervision of his...

Book The Rural Cemetery Movement

Download or read book The Rural Cemetery Movement written by Jeffrey Smith and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Mount Auburn opened as the first “rural” cemetery in the United States in 1831, it represented a new way for Americans to think about burial sites. It broke with conventional notions about graveyards as places to bury and commemorate the dead. Rather, the founders of Mount Auburn and the spate of similar cemeteries that followed over the next three decades before the Civil War created institutions that they envisioned being used by the living in new ways. Cemeteries became places for leisure, communing with nature, and creating a version of collective memory. In fact, these cemeteries reflected changing values and attitudes of Americans spanning much of the nineteenth century. In the process, they became paradoxical: they were “rural” yet urban, natural yet designed, artistic yet industrial, commemorating the dead yet used by the living. The Rural Cemetery Movement: Places of Paradox in Nineteenth-Century America breaks new ground in the history of cemeteries in the nineteenth century. This book examines these “rural” cemeteries modeled after Mount Auburn that were founded between the 1830s and 1850s. As such, it provides a new way of thinking about these spaces and new paradigm for seeing and visiting them. While they fulfilled the sacred function of burial, they were first and foremost businesses. The landscape and design, regulation of gravestones, appearance, and rhetoric furthered their role as a business that provided necessary services in cities that went well beyond merely burying bodies. They provided urban green spaces and respites from urban life, established institutions where people could craft their roles in collective memory, and served as prototypes for both urban planning and city parks. These cemeteries grew and thrived in the second half of the nineteenth century; for most, the majority of their burials came before 1910. This expansion of cemeteries coincided with profound urban growth in the United States. Unlike their predecessors, founders of these burial grounds intended them to be used in many ways that reflected their views and values about nature, life and death, and relationships. Emphasis on worldly accomplishments increased with industrialization and growth in the United States, which was reflected in changing ways people commemorated their dead during the period under this study. Thus, these cemeteries are a prism through which to understand the values, attitudes, and culture of urban America from mid-century through the Progressive Era.
