"Entrance to Cemetery. Columbus Cemetery is full of artistic marble tombs of the finest sculpture specially at the entrance avenue on both sides. That avenue leads to a nice church and streets of tombs run in all directions along some of which large pines are planted. The richest marbles in the world are employed to build those monuments, that place this cemetery on the level with the best in Europe. The arcade at the entrance, in the Romanic style, is imposing."
