Section C, Rose Hill (Rifle) Cemetery, Rifle, Garfield County, Colorado http://files.usgwarchives.net/co/garfield/cemeteries/rosehilc.txt Transcribed by Judy Crook Donated May 8, 2001 The Rose Hill Cemetery is Rifle's largest and main cemetery. The first burial was in 1896. Several 'residents' were moved from older cemeteries to Rose Hill so there are tombstones dating from 1893. The Moose Cemetery joins Rose Hill on the west and until recently was operated as a separate cemetery. The formal Rose Hill Cemetery lot system runs from #2 (the oldest) to #48 (the newest). The area that would be section #1 contains a pumphouse and maintenance shed. To aid in my transcription, I have divided the cemetery into 14 areas (A-L). The Moose Cemetery was transcribed separately. Section/Lot 4 "Charity Area" (My section C) There are many unnamed metal markers in the charity area of the cemetery. There are no well-defined rows, so I transcribed this area from the bottom of the hill up. Lola Goldena Taylor Daughter of J.W. & Allie Taylor Died May 5, 1898 Aged 8 Ms. 10 Ds.
