Rose Hill's Origin Story - Recorded Presentation
Description:
Jim Jones, sexton and records manager at Rose Hill Cemetery, shares the story behind a recently

and revising local history. By cross-referencing treasurer, funeral, sexton, and lot sale records,
he shows how conflicting information came to light and was resolved.
