Here the path turns, and we soon find ourselves in front of Edge-wood Avenue. This tall obelisk of clouded marble commemorates two infant children of Robert J. Brown. little further back stands a handsome headstone, with arch and finial, upon which we 6* A read the name of Elizabeth V. P. Harper. Next, in the same linc, stands an oblong block, inscribed to Margaret Turner. This is on the lot of John Turner, well known to many citizens as the coadjutor of John Lang, in the printing of the New-York Gazette.

Nearly opposite to these, upon ground unenclosed, lies a horizontal slab-over the grave, as it tells us, of the Rev. George W. Miller. Alfred M. Ryder's memorial is a filleted obelisk on the right hand, having, in front, a tablet, draped and scrolled. Asa M. Sanda marble headstone. On the other side, ford John Alexander an obelisk. G. W.
