According to a story appeurlng In Printing, a mngazine devoted to the Interest~ of the typographical trades, both the cemetery and the grave of the "First Civilized Amerl· can" are sadly neglected. The large, fiat stone which covers the last resting place of the great and Tersatlle Ben Is said to be cracked, while neighbor!~ his grave are many crumbling and tumbling tombstones.

The Patches article continues: "The Liberty bell lost Its leading active position In 1781, when the steeple of the Statehouse was torn down be· cause of decay and thereafter the bell was practically retired. In 1828 It was succeeded by a new Statehouse bell made for the new tower, a bell which could ring the hours of clock· works.

The existence of the historic grave has been recognized only once, other than In a casual way by individuals. A few years ago the Daughters of tbe American Revolution askE>d for earth from historic spots to be used in plnnt!ng a tree, to be taken from Yorktown and planted at Arlington.
