PLANNING A MODERN SMALL TOWN CEMETERY 
The business men of Pittsburg, Kansas, 
realized that the cemetery problem for their 
city was one that should be considered and 
solved at once, as the area set aside for 
cemetery purposes was far too small to 
supply the needs of the growing city for 
more than the next decade. 
After a careful study of the cemetery 
problem in other cities, especially at Joplin, 
Missouri, they decided that Pittsburg 
should have the best that money could 
secure. Mount Hope Cemetery, between 
Joplin and Webb City, met their approval, 
and the landscape architects, Hare & Hare 
of Kansas City, who had selected this 
ground and had prepared the plans for 
same, were employed to look over the sit- 
uation and prepare plans for a cemetery 
at Pittsburg. They selected a fifty-one acre 
tract south of the city on Broadway as the 
best available ground for cemetery pur- 
poses that could be found around Pitts- 
burg. A topographical survey of this 
ground was made, and road, block and lot 
plans prepared, along with plans and draw- 
ings for entrance, and planting plans for 
thirty-one acres were completed. 
T. N. Campbell, who had so ably exe- 
cuted Mr. Hare’s plans at Mount Hope 
Cemetery, was secured as superintendent 
HOBSON CEMETERY WITHOUT PERPETUAL CARE.
