distance from the population. The new six-acre cemetery was laid out following popular period practices, and its earliest section illustrates the principles of the rural cemetery movement. The initial three sections of the cemetery occupied the top of a hill and, as more burials occurred, the cemetery added new sections along the slope of the hill and into the flat land at the edge of the site. Either the sexton, employed to oversee the cemetery, and/or the trustees followed current information about improvements in managing cemeteries and trends established by professional designers because as the cemetery expanded, the newer section followed the latest modes in cemetery design. While the earliest part of the cemetery, at the top of the hill, recalls the rural cemetery type, the slope of the hill and the flat sections near the road illustrate the lawn park and memorial park cemetery types common to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, making it possible to observe the entire design history of the cemetery from the hilltop to Alder Street.
