KOSEMOJST CEMETERY.
t To whom it may concern :
Several notices have been sent re
questing payment of bills for burial
lot or for other expenses, due the
Rosemont Cemetery Company, to
which little or no attention has been
paid.
If the several amounts due are
not paid by or before the 20th of
August now next, they will be put
in process of collection. The Mana
gers hope there will not be any
necessity for such action; but that
all persons having relatives or
frieuds buritd in said grounds, will
sufficiently respect them, to pay tor
the place of their rest.
By order of the Managers.
