Vintage Cemetery Photos

Old Rose Hill Cemetery in 1989

Photo courtesy of Doris French. She took the photo in 1989 in the old north section of the cemetery and the view is from west to east. The cemetery grounds appear to have been in rough shape at the time. The fence shown in the background is the original cemetery fencing which was replaced in 1992 with a new chain link fence.

Old Rose Hill Cemetery Circa 1945-1955

The photo is taken from the east near the south drive looking west. The shed and the tree have long since been removed due to the ravages of time.

This is a similar view to the photo posted above. This photo was taken May 22, 2012. You will note that the shed and tree in front of it are gone. The small evergreen to the left of the shed in the old photo has now grown to maturity. Up until the last few years, the fence line shown was completely overgrown with brush, weeds and small trees. ORHCA volunteers have been working hard to clear all cemetery fence lines.
