1896 Advertising for Fairmount Park, Wheatfield

Jeanette Sheliga

“The New Cemetery.

The Fairmount Cemetery Association have provided North Tonawanda with one of the handsomest, best appointed cemeteries that can be found in Western New York and are now actively engaged in laying out, landscaping and plotting one-half its grounds.

Two hundred lots are now on the market at low prices, but as soon as these are sold prices will be advanced sharply.

The choicest lots go first. Satisfactory terms are given and there is not a head of family in North Tonawanda who should not give the matter early consideration. For particulars see the adv. on page 8.”1
