Rose Hill Memorial park was opened in 1929 to serve the eastern half of Fort Worth and the nearby comunities of Handley and Meadowbrook. There are so many flat markers here it is hard to get an impression of the numbers of graves, but we were told by the ladies at the cemetery office that there are over 30,000 burials here as of 2017.
The most infamous person buried here is JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, but Blasterz were here today to visit our relative Annie Mae Perkins, Mama Blaster's grandmother and Younger Blaster's great-grandmother.
