[Transcribed by Jane Devlin]

The grounds are situated one half mile northeasterly from Hillsdale village. The road leading from the village to Hillsdale Centre passes along the northerly border of the Cemetery; and the Columbia Turnpike road, at forty rods distance, and in full sight, passes its southerly border. Every foot of the land is well adapted to the purposes for which it is intened, and being a gravelly loam, in which the gravel predominates, while it is sufficiently tenacious, is easily dug, and no land could be more happily selected for preserving the substances deposited in its soil, or for preserving monuments erected, from the action of the frost. Carriage ways crosing each other at right angles, run through the centre north and south, east and west, with a carriage way all around the borders. Walks sunk in the ground, four feet wide, pass north and south between all the ranges, and east and west between every other plot. It is subdivided into 444 plotts, seventy-six of which have already been taken, and seventy-two are in the free ground, leaving 300 yet to be taken, which with judicious management will produce a revenue for the improvement and preservation of the ground, for centuries to come. There have been about fifty ornamental shade trees set out, and now living, principally around the borders of the ground. On the easterly side is a wall two feet high and sunk two feet into the ground. Upon it is a painted picket fence, with iron posts. On the norhterly side is a painted picketed fence, with iron posts, set in marble. On the westerly side is a painted picket fence with wooden posts, having iron dowels at their feet, set in marble, with iron bars, the feet of which are also set in marble. The gates are of iron, with ornamental architectural surroundings. Two thirds of the land is nearly level, or gently rolling, while one third is elevated, admirably adapting it for plots, or receiving vaults, as may be desired. Already near five thousand dollars has been expended in monuments erected to the memory of the dead, or in iron or marble fences around the plots. And in purchasing of the land and in its fencing, grading and ornamenting, including hearse house and hearse, nearly four thousand dollars more has been expended. The outstanding debt on the 3d of November, 1871, was $514, with nearly enough surplus money in the treasury for its extinguishment.
