Up 10 that time. Boynton
lived comfortably in a fine.

an unexpected and expensiveleap for a 51-year~old lantern
salesman.
Boynton was known
around town as a gregarious
salesman. He was married toHattie Edna Huntoon. who was
born in 1857. the s:une year asEdward Everctt Boynton was born. Their
first child was born on May 16, 1882 and
named Ethel Louise. She died a month-and
a-half latcr on luly 26. Their second child.
another girl and named Bessie May. was
born on May 18. 1886. She also died in oneand-a-half months on luly 27. 1886. But
Bessie May had a twin sister. Beulah. who
lived to become part of this story. On lune

[t is reasonable to assume that Edward
Everell Boynton. with his chann and busi

his income superior as well. So in 1907.
Boynton decided to leave his Vick Park B
house and its sad memories and build a new
home for himself and his 21-year-old daugh-
tcr. Beulah. He first considered hiring loc31
architect Claude Bragdon. But he had a
hlntern company associate in Chicago.Warren McAnhur. who had engaged a
young architect. Frank Lloyd Wright. to
design his home in 1892. and Boymon. onseeing it. was also persuaded to hire Wright.
In 1907. Frank Lloyd Wright W3S 38

acccpted a residential commission as far east

house was situated near the nonh end of this

Pounded in 1850, the University ofRochester has always maintainedclose ties with MI. Hope Cemetery.
Many UR faculty and alumni rest throughout Mt. Hope, undisturbed within its deeprepose, and the university's move 10 theRiver Campus in the 1930s strengthenedboth the physical and spiritual bonds with its
peaceful neighbor. Such a relationshipbetween a cemetery and a university datesback at lcast to 1796 and the founding of theNew Haven (Connecticut) Burial Groundwith its Yale University section. This markedan importantlfallSilion in burial practice,which moved from the churchyards to independent private and, later. public cemeteries.
Sections were still allotted to religious congregations. but other important forms ofidentity were also recognized in sectionsdedicated to families, occupations, and institutions of higher education. In keeping withthis practice. the University of Rochestersoon purchased a section of Ml. HopeCemetery dedicated to its students. alumni,
and faculty.
In 1939, Edward Everett Boynton diedat age 82 years in New York City and wasburied in his family lot in Mount HopeCemetery, Range 3. Lot 2 IO. ncar the cornerof Forest and Evergreen avenues. His daugh
ter, Beulah Boynton. died in New York Cit)'on March 29. 1974, and is buried inlhesame lot. Miss Boynton was 87 years old.
dens, reflecting pool. fountains, and tenniscoum were gone, and Wright's jewel wasnow flanked by houses of uninspired design.He expressed incredulity at the bad taste ofthese changes. But what truly horrified himwas that the clean lines and plain surfaceshad been unforgivably dcfaccd with exteriorgullers and downspouts that had replaced hisoriginal interior roof drainage system. [n hisrage. he rose from his seat and banged hishead against the roof of the taxi andshrieked. "They've wrapped conductor pipes
around my plane surfaces! They havedestroycd my house!"
On November 14, 1932, Frank LloydWright. then 63 years old, came toRochester to deliver a lecture at theMemorial Art Ga11ery. The director of thegallery. Gertrude Moore. picked him up in ataxi at the train station. Their first visit was
to the house on East Boulevard that he haddesigned 25 years earlier. The formal gar-

designed. By 1910. he had designed 120Prairie style houses, about 90 of which survive.
Edward and Beulah Boynton lived luxuriouslyat 16 East Boulevard for a decade.until 1918. when Edward was 61 years oldand retired from his sales poSition. Theymoved to New York City and bought atownhouse at 15 East 63rd Street.Meanwhile, their house in Rochester stoodvacant for three years before it was purchased. After several owners, the house wasacquired by the Landmark Society ofWestern New York, which sold it with
covenants to protect both its exterior andinterior, including the original Wrightdesigned furniture now owned by theLandmark Society. The house became a citylandmark in 1969 and is still a private resi
dence today.
Wright was 38 years old when he
designed the Boynton House. In 1906. hehad just completed the Darwin D. MartinHouse in Buffalo, which has an open planallowing a free flowof space betweenrooms and from theinterior to the exterior.He continued thisapproach. perhaps abit more conservatively, in the BoyntonHouse, but still with
rooms that were partof a continuous spatial flow. often eliminating doors between
them and wideningthe openings. Thehouse has 220 leadedglass windows withmore than 4.0<X.lpieces of glass in the
dining room alone.
Beulah Boymon and Wright got alongfamously - not always the case for Wrightwith his cliems. At her request. Wrightdesigned six-foot-wide drawers. so thiltBeulah could store her long gowns withoutfolding them. When the whole project wascompleted in 1908, the price tag wasbetween $45.000 and $50,000.

The earliest UR intennent in Mt. Hopewas that of a student, George Ide Newell (b.
1830). who died of "monificalion:' known
today as gangrene. He was buried on July 6.
1852. twO weeks before the University offi
cially completed the purchase of the section.
Early records indicate that the UR Board of
Trustees had begun considering the acquisi
tion of a plot the year before, and perhaps as
a result of Newell's death. they made the
decision to purchase the section. which was
formally approved by the City of Rochesteron July 21,1852. The title deed reads:

SYMBOLS IN MOUNTHOPE CEMETERY
by Richard O. Reisem
pharos by Frail!: A. Gillespie
By the time Mount Hope Cemeteryopened in 1838, the skull and crossbones and olher symbols depicting
death as the grim reaper had been abandoned. Even the places of burials in the19th-century were no longer referred to asgraveyards or burial grounds as our Puritanforefmhers called them: now they werecemeteries. which is an ancient Greek wordfor donnitories. where loved ones resteduntil they were resurrected and called to!lea\'en.
In the 19th-century Victorian age,Americans adopted the romanticism andsentimentalism that had been growing inEngland and on the European continent.Demh was equated with benign sleep under
the protectiOn of:'l. benevolent Providence.rather than as a possible route to hell.
Cemeteries were a different kind ofplace from graveyards and burial grounds.They were rural places of natural beautywith groves of trees. water features. greenlawns. and winding roads· places that wefCinviting for a walk and for meditation.Philosophers in England and France viewednature as a holy place capable of eliciting aspiritual response within the soul of a visitor. Cemeteries allempted to duplicate thecoulllry. and a walk in the country was oftenconsidered the equivalent of going to
church.
Tombstones also changed in thisromantic Victorian age. Epitaphs in earlyNew England burial grounds typically car
ried messages of grim resignation and loss.like this one:
"Come near my friends and castan eye;
Then go your way. prepare to die.Learn here your doom. and knowyou mustOne day like me be tumed 10
dust."
4
This is a leftover message from an earlier time on the tombstone of WilliamNoms. who died April 7. 1859, aged 30years. It is located in Range l. Lot 125.Mount Hope Cemetery.
Now consider the epitaph on the tombstone of Henry Lee Selden. who died in1858 and is buried in Section G of MountHope Cemetery. The verse here is typical ofVictorian sentimentality:
"He is nOl dead. this child of ouraffection.But gone unto that school.Where he no longer needs ourpoor protection.And Christ himself doth rule."
NO! only epitaphs changed in the 19thcentury. but the carved symbols on graniteand marble tombstones changed as well tomore romantic motifs. The willow-tree-andurn design (both Greek symbols of mourn·ing). which was introduced in the late
17005. led the change. The skull became acherub. Angels (messengers between Godand man) and anchors (representing hope)
decorated family monuments. The stemnOlion that all sin would be punished wasreplaced by a belief that sin could be forgiven and good deeds and righteousness wouldbe rewarded.
In order for a gravestone symbol toreceive widespread understanding. the symbolic fonllS hud 10 have a cert3in degree ofunivers31ity with the values. beliefs. andlastes of the society at that time. In manycases. the carved representations were borrowed from antiquity. particularly theEgypti3n. Greek. and Rom3n civilizations.American Victori3ns studied and admiredthese ancient cultures and held 3 deep fond
ness for them. Witness the names bestowedon just a few upstate New York cities.towns. villages. and hamlets: Troy. Ithaca.Palmym. Ionia. Spana. Attica. Macedon.Aristotle. and IlOIlO forget Rochester's con
tiguous suburb. Greece.
One monument in Mount HopeCemetery that stands out with its interestingcan'ed symbols is the George HumphreyMumford family monument in Section V.
just north of the Ellwanger mOl1ument. It is
the first large memorial encountered insidethe iron fencing. George HuntingtonMumford (1805-1871) attended HamiltonCollege and then Union College. where hereceived an A.B. degree in 1824. He came toRochester in 1825 to prJctice law with hisbrother William Woolsey Mumford. marriedAnne Elizabeth Hart in 1836. and was aprominent local anomey. who was alsoacth'e in community affairs. an officer ofse\'eral banks. and helped to finance the st.anof Western Union Telegmph Company.
His oldest son was George HartMumford (1840-1875). who received hislaw degree from Harvard Unh'ersily in 1861and from 1862 served in the Ci\'il War as a1st lieutenanl in the 18th New York LightArtillery. After lhe WUf. his f.ather sent himto California to work in the Western Union
office there. He married Sarah Dana in SanFrancisco in 1867. At the age of 26. he
became president of the California StateTelegraph Company and superintendent oflheir telegraph Jines. At the time of his deathat .age 35 years. he was vice-president andsuperintendent of the eastern division ofWestern Union. He died while on a business
trip in Paris.
The Mumford memorial also commemorates five additional children of George andAnne Mumford: Helen Elizabeth. CharlesElihu. Mary Louise, Fmnces Isabel. andHenrietta SaltonstaJl Mumford.
On the four sides of the Mumfordmemorial. at about eye level. are four interesting symbols:
Bellnowers tied in a ribbon symbolizeconstancy. steadfastness in loyalty. and faithfulness.
BUllerfly represents the resurrection ofChrisl and. by extension. the regenemtion ofhuman life and a new life that is more com
plete and beautiful in heaven. This carvingis not a particularly realistic representationof a butterfly, but despite the carver's styl.
ization. it is still thought to be of the orderLepitoptem. which includes bUllerflies andmoths.
Winged Hourglass has for many agesbeen used as a message of man's fleetingtime on earth and the uncert.ainty of ourmortal future. As we say in Latin. "tempusfugit.'· time nies.
Snake with its tail in its mouth. 11lesnake is often associated with death. but asnake with its tail in its mouth is the symbolof eternity. Here. the serpent. representingdeath. is combined with the circle. whichme.ans no beginning and no end. eternity.resurrection.
Enn D. Vaughan died on August 17.1875 at the age of 43 years. 9 months. and12 days. His tombstone is a simple marblecolonial tablet in Range 2 along OakAvenue. Can'ed into an ov.al recess is apointing finger:
Index finger pointing upward trans·lales 10 "gone home:' that is. to heaven. 1be
person memorialized here has depaned. Heis no longer on eanh but in hea\'en with
Jesus.
A number of monuments in MoontHope Cemetery carry the interesting winged
orb symbol. One appears on Geneml JacobGould's Egyptian style mausoleum just tothe right of the old chapel at the northentrance. Each of the four faces of the tallFiremen's monument in Section BB alsohave an elegantly carved winged orb. sometimes called winged sun disk. The symbol isrooted in Egyptian mythology. It was theirsymbol of divine protection and blessing:
Winged orb represelllS divine protection and lhe power to recreate life afterdeath. It was a popular symbol in the ancient
Egyptian civilization. The orb. or sphere.with the auached wings. therefore. stands
for resurrection.
A bronze plaque on the Odd Fellowsmonument along Grove Avenue in SectionBB depicts a banner with a bas relief do\'e
emerging from its face:
[)o\'c represents peace. forgiveness. and
purity. When il is a descending dove. it
becomes the trnditional symbol of the HolySpirit.

Not all symbols in Mount Hope
Ccmelery ha\'c religious meanings. Onefamily plO! that is rich in S&ular symbols is
that of Noah Coming, a prominentRochester physician. Dr. Noah Coming's
headstone con13ins the physician's marl:
flanked by a laurel branch (achie\'ement)
and an ook branch (strength). Daughter Lucy
Augusta's stone incorporates an artisl's
palenc: daughter Clarissa Helen's, a lyre:
