Excerpt from Rules, Regulations and General Information Forest hills cemetery, of 260 acres, was consecrated in 1848, and is now one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the United States. It is conveniently located in that part of Boston now called Forest Hills.* It is about five miles south of the State House and lies in a region noted for its beauty, Franklin Park and the Arnold Arboretum being near neighbors. It is easily accessible by steam and elevated trains or by park roads from the heart of the city. Forest Hills Cemetery is managed by a Board of Trustees, who receive no compensation and are elected by the Proprietors, each lot owner being a Proprietor. It is well kept with most attractive landscape features, and offers every inducement to those who desire a suitable burial place where future care is assured. The Cemetery is equipped to do planting and all other work on lots except the erection of monumental work, and has its own greenhouses and nurseries.

Beyond the rustic gates of the Forest Hill Cemetery in Dunmore, Pennsylvania, lies a vast wealth of history. Early in 1870, George Sanderson, Elisha Phinney, William Breck, and J.A. Robertson, with J. Gardner Sanderson and George S. Kingsbury, purchased a 50-acre tract of land from the Pennsylvania Coal Company, which became the last resting place for the cemetery's 18,000 residents. The Civil War section of the cemetery is home to over 300 Union soldiers and two Confederates. Numerous congressmen, lieutenant governors, state representatives, and other elected officials make up Forest Hill's political graveyard. The rich, the poor, the famous, and the unsung all have stories to be told, and this book recounts their tales.
