A Marist Brothers' tradition is to recite the rosary during the procession to the cemetery. This group started at the English Village and moved down the road towards the cemetery
Final prayers at the interments of Brothers Paul Ambrose Fontaine and Thomas Hennessy are led by Brother John Klein, Provincial. The group included many mourners from Asia, as both Bros. Paul & Thomas had worked many years for the foreign missions.

The southern cottage was built earlier and was used by the superintendent during the Pratt era. When Payne took over the property, a second cottage was added almost indistinguishable from the first. One has brick at corners, the other has stone
Despite its enormous size, the gym does not dominate the visitor to the village, but some red brick does appear in the background. Building to the left was the power generating station, then a dormitory, then a gymnasium, then a chapel, now a conference room.
The garages became a kitchen in 1952, with a corridor in the section closest to the open space. This is the only place where architectural desires gave way to financial necessity: the roof over the corridor is shingle, not slate or tile.
Garage bays with three autos, a Pierce Arrow, a Crane Simplex and a Packard, each with a chauffeur. The Packard belonged to Julian Burroughs, superintendent, a gift from Oliver H Payne
The door to the right of the garage bays was a machine and carpenter shop. Open bays to their right were used for storage of feed for the carriage horses
View looking west. The open arch was blocked off, bays to the left were turned into rooms. Upper rooms were consolidated and turned into dormitories in 1943, then became classrooms in 1952.
Even in 2002 the carriage house retains its original look except for the glass block closing the carriage entrance. Inside space was used for dormitory in 1942, then a recreation space, and converted to a dining room in 1952.
