HOLDEN TO QUIT OEMETERY

Resignation Is to Take Effect on Next June 1. John Holden, who has been sexton of Weston cemetery for the past few years, will sever his connection therewith June 1 and will engage in the greenhouse business on hiq own account exclusively. The greenhouse now on Mr. Holden’s property is owned by the city, having been built there by the cemetery board and operated by the sexton out of the cemetery funds, the profits arising therefrom being turned into the same fund. He does not care to buy this, and the trustees expect to move it to some other location and continue the business, The Democrat is informed. A member of the board informs The Democrat also that this branch of the business has been very profitable, but it would seem that the plant would be depreciated considerably in moving it.
