In Response To: Treestump Tombstones (Evelyn Pritchard)

THE HILL MONUMENT. Wm. R. Hill has just placed a monument in memory of his father, Enoch S. Hill in Forest Home Cemetery..... The work is done by a Mr. Cross, in Chicago, who originated this style of rustic monument...Mr. Hill has not only made a fitting memorial to his father, but has added much to the embellishment of Forest Home Cemetery."
[excerpts from two extensive articles describing the Hill Monument, June 30 and July 7, 1881, "Free Press", Mt. Pleasant, Iowa]
