Jacob Hoffner Monument
The Hoffner monument is
situated on a promontory in
section 57, and was erected in
1853 by Jacob Hoffner, to the
memory of his wife and children.
This monument represents a
gothic shrine, and was executed
in Italian marble by Charles Rule,
of this city, from a design of the
late John B. Earnshaw. The
beautiful statue which adorns this
elegant structure is from Fantocci,
of Florence, Italy.
