Magnaminity

New York, 1895

Owing to the recent severe weather and its incumbent inconveniences, many families visited by the "grim destroyer" have been in sore straits regarding the disposal of the remains of their loved ones.

Realizing this, the directors of the Cedar Grove cemetery (located on the Old Mill Road near Flushing), offer the use of their magnificent receiving vault to such families free of charge — the small deposit required being returned or rebated as soon as the weather permits the selection of a grave or a plot in their cemetery.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, Feb. 22, 1895, p. 4.
