Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oak Ridge Cemetery; Its History and Improvements, Rules and Regulations: National Lincoln Monument, and Other Monuments, Charter and Ordinances, List of Lot Owners Twenty four years having elapsed since the first steps were taken towards the establishment of Oak Ridge Cemetery, it has been deemed fitting, while many of those who were active in promoting the enterprise at the start are still living, to garner and place upon record such facts concerning its history as are of public interest, and which would otherwise be lost, when the present generation shall have passed away. This volume, embracing the Rules and Regulations as revised, and adopted by the Board of Managers April 30, 1879, has been carefully prepared by the undersigned, and may be relied upon as being accurate and complete. Dr. Henry Wohlgemuth having been President of the Board for seven years, had carefully preserved many facts and data relating to the Cemetery, which he has furnished as material, in part, for the volume. The sketch of the National Lincoln Monument has been prepared from original records, and from personal knowledge of the writer, who has been conversant from the commencement, with its history.

Download or read book Oak Ridge Cemetery written by Edward J. Russo and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Springfield's historic Oak Ridge Cemetery is accounted second only to Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C., as the most visited cemetery in the United States. The burial place of Abraham Lincoln, Oak Ridge's dramatically landscaped grounds are an important contribution to American landscape architecture. A portrait of Victorian sentimentalizing of death, Oak Ridge provides a sublime backdrop for contemplating life. Unlike grim churchyards and bleak graveyards, rural cemeteries are places of great beauty for the living who continue to use them for walking, riding, and quiet reflection. But Oak Ridge's peacefulness has occasionally been disturbed, as in 1876 when gunfire rang out while secret service agents attempted to catch grave robbers who had broken into the Lincoln Tomb.
