Cemetery notes and/or description:
This is a city-maintained cemetery still in use. Hours are dawn to dusk. The cemetery was begun at the turn of the 19th/ 20th century.
The first recorded plot sold in the cemetery was November, 1905; however, there were some burials before then. Many older graves were moved from rural family cemeteries to Forest Hill, and may pre-date 1905. The First Methodist Church moved its cemetery from King Street to Forest Hill in the 1920's. |
