"On George Washington's birthday, February 22, 1916, the City of Tyler ac­quired 46.79 acres for its second cemetery which was named Rose Hill.

Rose Hill was opened for burials in April 1917, and on May 2, 1917, Mr. Assad John Sarkis, born in 1882 in Mt. Lebanon, Syria, was buried. His is the first known grave in Rose Hill.

Rose Hill is the final resting place for numerous veterans of the Civil War through the Viet Nam War. It contains people from paupers to multi-millionaires."
