Laurel Hill Cemetery, Philadelphia, PA (Hayward)
John Hayward, Gazetteer of the United States of America… (Philadelphia: James L. Gihon, 1854), 523.
Laurel Hill Cemetery, in the neighborhood of Fairmount, is one of the most beautiful places of the kind in the country. The naturally-diversified surface of the ground, including about 20 acres, the trees, shrubs, foliage, and fragrant flowers with which it is adorned, and the costly and finely-sculptured monuments with which it is interspersed, render this a retreat at once of pleasing and of solemn interest.
