REPORT OF THE HILLSIDE CIRCLE ORGANIZATION

The Object of this Society shall be:
1. To provide a caretaker for the Hillside Cemetery.
2. To see that the cemetery is properly taken care of.
Everyone is invited to be a member and meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month at two p.m.

This organization was formed in 1913 with the leadership of Mrs. Claudius (Bertha) Hass as its first president. Early membership was approximately 36 increasing to 72 by January 1930.

The first caretaker was Mr. Chris Dickman at the fee of 25 cents per hour. Mr. Chris Kock was the next caretaker.

Each member paid $1.00 for yearly dues.

A constitution of by-laws was read and accepted in June 1963. They were written by Evelyn Grotewold (deceased) then president.

After perpetual care was established for the lots in the cemetery, it was agreed that this would replace the yearly fee.
