ROSELAWN, A MODERN CEMETERY, PUEBLO, COL. 
Roselavn Cemetery. Pueblo, Col., a 
rnodern lavn burial ground, has is- 
sued a very attractively printed little 
book of eight pages from which we 
show here several of the illustrations 
that were printed in the original in 
a subdued green tone with pink flow- 
ers in the corners, shown white in 
our reproductions. 
Roselawn was laid out on a thor- 
ough-going lawn plan after a careful 
study of other cemeteries. During 
the past few years the cemetery has 
installed a complete water works 
and pipe line system of its own, and 
all irrigation is now done by hose 
and sprinklers, thus doing away with 
the unsightly ditches which in the 
early days were a necessitj-. When 
desired, lots are sold upon a plan 
of partial payments. 
The association has created a 
Board of Trustees to have charge of 
the perpetual-care fund, and claims 
to be the only cemetery in that vi- 
cinity that has made any provision 
for perpetual care. 
Roselawn, by its charter frbm the 
state, is permanently dedicated as a 
cemetery. Its situation below the 
water supply of the city and away 
from the trend of the city’s growth 
The topography of the land surround- 
ing it, and the fact that it is operated 
by a company incorporated for the 
sole purpose of conducting a ceme- 
tery are its assurances of stability. 
Lot owners in Roselawn are given 
a warranty deed for the ground pur- 
chased, specifying the number of the 
block and lot, the superficial area of 
the lot and a guarantee of perpetual 
care. All other cemeteries in the vi- 
cinity of Pueblo, according to the 
booklet, merely give a contract grant- 
ing the use of a lot so long as the 
tract is maintained as a cemetery. 
The cemetery is controlled by the 
Pueblo Cemetery Association, whose 
officers are: Miles G. Saunders, presi- 
dent; Aaron Sonneborn, secretary- 
manager; T.incoln C. Glazier, super- 
intendent.
