The Board of Trade Battery burying-ground was tastefully ornamented with evergreens and flowers. The graves were liberally strewn. The most notable portion of the decorations was a large wreath of evergreens and flowers, beautiful in design and execution. Inside were the letters “B. of T.” This was the work of Mrs. Jackson, and very creditable the work was.
