Niles Republican II, Thurs. Jan. 3, 1878, page 3, col. 2 (Microfilm Niles District Library)

The rather promiscuous manner of burying in our cemetery hereto, will in the future be done in a more orderly way.  The trustees, some time ago, engaged Hon. Silas Ireland to prepare a topographical map of the grounds, and the work is now completed.  Greatly to the credit of the gentleman employed and to the satisfaction of the trustees.
