It’s hard to know exactly the date of this photograph. The view is in front of the office building.  Oxen were frequently used to haul the granite up to the cemetery on sledges.  The  arch was erected in 1873. To see the image at full size, click on the photo above. (photo courtesy of Oak Grove Cemetery).
