Answer:
The story opens in a casket underground, where a man named Henry Armstrong has been buried alive. He is in 'strict confinement,' 'black darkness,' and 'profound silence.' Bierce describes Armstrong's indifference to his circumstances and his sense of peace before shifting the scene.
The second setting is directly overhead, above ground, where the scene, in conspicuous contrast to the confinement of the casket, is expansive. Bierce describes the sky and the approach of a storm before turning to the ground below where the lightning flickers on the headstones of a cemetery. Here we find three men digging into the grave of Henry Armstrong.
The third and final setting of 'One Summer Night' is a 'medical college,' where two of the gravediggers, medical students, have convened after fleeing the cemetery. They enter the 'dissecting room' in the back to find the third gravedigger, Jess, and the now-dead body of Henry Armstrong, whom Jess has killed with a shovel.
