'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

rials are likewise expressive of the
character of tne aeceasea.
