Monumental Magnificence
Nickel & Co., of the Plymouth Marble Works, last week placed at the head of the grave of Hon. Julius Wolff, one of Sheboygan county's pioneers, and one who was at the time of his decease, March 22d, 1879, one of the most widely and worthily known residents of the county, a beautiful monument, and supposed to be the largest ever erected in the county. And the beauty of its execution would reflect credit upon any marble establishment in the country. The following is a description which will give the reader something of an idea of it. But for a full conception of its magnificence and realization of its size, a personal inspection would be necessary. Its height is 15 feet. It has three granite bases all highly polished, the second containing the name of Wolff in large raised letters.
The third base is a large square die bearing this inscription in sunk letters: Julius Wolff, born, April 19th, 1818, died, March 22d, 1879. Upon this base is the position of the column 9 feet in height.
The whole monument is of the celebrated Quincy granite and is dark blue in color. The whole weight is about five tons. It is a credit to the family of the deceased, and in a measure expresses how dear they cherish the memory of the husband and father. Its imposing size and beauty attracts all visitors and passers by to the cemetery. The location of the cemetery is one and one-fourth miles west of Franklin.
