Beautifying the Graveyards

Mr. R. Joseph has just returned from Laredo and San Diego where he has been erecting monuments and iron fences.  In the last named place he put up a fine fence and monument for the late Theodore Weidenmueller.  In this city he has filled several orders, among them a monument and fence for Mrs. Dr. Lawrence over the graves of her husband, son and daughter. He has also erected a beautiful iron fence around the grave of the late Mr. S. S. Lewis.
