Did You Know? Home For Aged Couples Has Plot at Forest Hills Cemetery
|
One of the joys of living in JP is taking walks in Forest Hills Cemetery and discovering something new. While many residents visit the graves of the famous — perhaps most notably poet e.e. cummings — the cemetery also honors the forgotten. For instance, there's a plot for the Home for Aged Couples. It was founded in 1884 to care and provide housing for poor married couples. The campus, now operated by Rogerson Homes, still stands at Columbus and Walnut avenues.
