Memory Hill Cemetery, Charles Holmes Herty | Additional Description: (Dec 4, 1867-Jul 27,
1938) Charles Holmes Herty was a noted researcher
and chemist. He also was University
of Georgia’s first football coach. He invented
a device that allowed young pines to mature
and reseed while allowing extraction of turpentine
or other products. In the 1930s, he
proved that high-quality newsprint and other
paper products could be made from Southern
pine, thereby greatly aiding the economy of
the South. It is for this achievement that most
Georgians hold him in highest esteem. Note
the pine tree planted at his head.(Memory Hill Cemetery tour)
