The Macon Daily Telegraph 3 January 1906 CEMETERY COMMITTEE PLANS TO SELL LOTS Council's committee on cemeteries has about devised a plan whereby the city will be able to make several hundreds of dollars each year on the sale of lots. It seems that at Rose Hill cemetery there is a large hill that has never been completely cleared and that is in a good location. The plan is to have this hill, or more properly termed a knoll, cleared of all vegetation and graded into separate lots. These lots, it is presumed, will be much in demand as the hill is centrally located. In the past the majority of the lots that have been sold by the city have been in that portion of the cemetery that borders upon the main entrance. The negro cemetery on the north has been built up but part of the land that separates it from Rose Hill has been neglected, not through any desire on the part of the city sexton to shirk work, but because of its roughness. A few weeks of work on this hill, or knoll, by the chaingang, it is supposed, would level it and place upon the market lots that would bring good prices. Cemetery committeemen have paid Rose Hill a visit during the last week and have decided that money would be the result of a judicious expenditure of labor upon the grounds.
