Battery A Chicago Light Artillery Monument in 1897 Charter
As discussed in the page titled, “Rosehill’s Early History,” the Officers and Board of Managers of the Cemetery published several booklets in 1859 and 1860 with information on the cemetery, its dedication, and its lot holders. The booklets were updated in 1877 and 1897 and titled Charter, By-laws, and Rules and Regulations of the Rosehill Cemetery.
Distributed to potential lot purchasers, the updated booklets featured images of the Civil War monuments at Rosehill. Prominent use of these images in the booklets allows us to infer their importance to the cemetery, the potential buyers, and the community as a whole.
