Mystery of Burial Ground In Crows Nest Thickets.

Intrigues Investigators,

No Mourners Use Cemetery Gateway Provided by Eli Lilly, Whose Courtesy. Was Rewarded by Discovery of Epitaph Disparaging His Profession.

By BEATRICE BURGAN

Society Editor

UCKED away iP woods back of the Crows Nest estates is a ceme--

tery, as privat When Eli Lill

a family burial ground. uilt a stone wall at the back of his home, he was

requested to leave an opening for possible mourners. But the Lillys never have seen anyone come to place flowers on a grave. The only visitors have been the residents of Sunset Lane cutting through Crows Nest.

From the homes of Dr. Reed, Horace Shonle, L. L. Goodman, J. A. Goodman and Mr. Lilly, the old hillside burial ground can be seen, but not a tombstone is in view from any road.

Ode to Drug Maker

A twist of fate makes the cemetery peculiarly interesting to the Lillys.. a name synonymous with medicine the world over. Just in-

side the entrance Mr. Lilly built is a gravestone of a Mary Roberts, with the following epitaph: “Pain was her portion, physic her food. Sigh her devotion, drugs did her no good. So Christ, her Redeemer, knows what is best, To ease her from pain, has taken her to rest.” The engraving is faded, but a visitor at the Lillys knew the secret of deciphering the words. He had made a study of old cemeteries, and had discovered that by flashing a light on the tombstones at night, faded lettering could be read. The last date of a burial there seems to be 1883. None of the legible inscriptions is more recent. I noted only four after 1880. Surprisingly few stones have toppled over.

Wild Flowers Abound Lack of attention has not left the grounds to become a tangle of weeds. Long ago some loving relative planted myrtle, which has grown riotously over every inch of

the hill. And pushing up through |,

it are many varieties of wild flowers. -A few rosy myrtle blossoms now are coming out with spring beauties and violets. The evergreen myrtle climbs over the tombstones, many of which bear Civil War dates. On the headpiece at the grave of J. D. Hubbartt, 1826 to 1880, is carved “Served four years in the recent war.” The Krise and Hessong families must have been among the more affluent, for their family plot is

" separated ‘from others by an iron

fence. Sad Their Lives Sad must have been the life of Joel and Dema Bacon. Their first born, Lucy. died in 1850 at the age of five months. Joel Jr. was buried in 1868 at the age of 11. Infant

Bacon lived only 26 days. The date of Dema’s death is obscured but her

age of 27 is plain. Mr. Bacon died

in 1870 when he was 49. Authorities say every herb known in the medical science of Indian tribes has been found in Crows Nest hills. History reveals that Indian medicinemen used the shaded undergrowths for their laberatories. For decades poor settlers occupied this area and after years of labor most of them went to the poor house. No one seems to be sure whether the little graveyard was started in the early medicinemen era or .in the poorhouse days. .
