ROSE HILL

Rose Hill Cemetery

Located at 535 Fayette St., about ¾ mile from Emmanuel Church, there is a small but dedicated new group of volunteers at Rose Hill who call themselves “The Rose Hill Stoners.” This group has taken up the responsibility to clean and help preserve our monuments. Members of the local Jewish Synagogue, who had previously embarked on a similar task, came to Rose Hill to share their expertise with us. Armed with this education the Rose Hill Stoners have taken up their mission with a renewed commitment to bring back to life many of the headstones and monuments found in Rose Hill. Several of these volunteers can also regularly be found at Rose Hill maintaining the grounds.

We also recognize the growing interest in genealogy and are in the process of building a new website dedicated to Rose Hill and are scanning all our paper records into a digital format so they can be accessible through the website. This will enable members of the community to access information about their family history directly. A link to that website will be placed here once available.

Another planned initiative is to quarterly feature a biography of an individual buried at Rose Hill on the Rose Hill website.

Are you interested in history? Do you like to do research to discover interesting and informative facts about individuals? If you answered yes to any of these questions you may be the person we are looking for to help with this initiative.

We would love to hear from you if you’d like to join us in any of our projects. EMAIL US
