MEDFOUD IVKIL TRIBUNE, TDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1932. PAGE THREE 25 Cemeteries Beckon Memorial Day Visit in Region About Medford (Contributed) 'In early days when moit of the older cemeteries of Jackson county were established. It Is now apparent that the original land owners, In most Instances, donated the ceme tery plots because the land was not suited to cultivation. Most of them are located on hill sides and until recently were In accessible from main highways. It was difficult In many cemeteries to dig graves without the use of dynamite, but recently drilling with s, compressor has eliminated disturb ing of other burials In the locality. Perpetual Care. ' There was very little thought given In the early days to perpetual csre, but serious consideration Is now being given by a number of owners of cemeteries tn this county In the establishment of a trust fund, the Interest to be entirely devoted to tne care 01 ine graves, wsiu driveways. In some Instances It Is contem plated that all funds derived from the sale of burial plots will be placed In this fund, others figure to place a major portion of the lot sale money In such a trust fund. Dp to this time, only three of the older cemeteries In the county pro vide perpetual care, the Mountain View and the Ashland cemeteries which are owned by the Uty of Ashland and the Odd Fellows' ceme tery at Medford. No less than 50,000 is contemplated for a trust fund for these two Ashland cemeteries and lot sales have already made a substantial beginning toward thla fund. There Is a general desire on the psrt of the owners of cemeteries to take better care of their properties. A nominal amount of mony from each lot sale placed In a trust fund will In a short time, provide a fund ample to cover perpetual care. There are many cemetery associa tions that have made tremendous profits In the sale of lots for burial purposes. In some Instance this profit has run as high as from twenty to fifty thousand dollars per acre and instead of using the profit for the benefit of the pur chssers In perpetual care, they have diverted tnelr gain for other pur poses. In many cemeteries In the east, the cost of burial plots Is very nominal, but they require a deposit of from two to four hundred dollars In their trust fund for perpetual care of a lot 30x20 feet. Memorials. In many of the cemeteries, the owners of lots have spent thousands of dollars In memorials to those vinvA nnjuiMl on. These memo rials are likewise expressive of the character of tne aeceasea. of them simple In design, but ex- H.u.i nf the substantial cltlssen- shlp in whose memory they were ercted. Memorials of today are different from those erected some years ago. Instead of the high type, the low wide ones have taxen ine pim-o " In many Instances the email marker.
