Bella Morte Rating: 3 Tombstones
Vine Street Hill Cemetery (formerly known as the German Evangelical Protestant Cemetery) offers a number of interesting monuments and markers. The Vine Street entrance (as opposed to the East Mitchell street entrance) can give the impression the cemetery is smaller than it actually is, so be sure to drive up the hill to see the entire place.
While this isn't a cemetery worth traveling out of your way to see, it's worth at least a short visit if you happen to be in the area. If you do stop by and enter through the Vine Street gate, search the monuments on the road which winds its way to the left. A Bella Morte favourite stands on the hillside...the image of a mother and child, chiseled in exquisite detail, the child's small right hand resting gently against her mother's breast. This is the memorial of Rose Clark Kleine, born on the 22nd of July, 1872. She died at the age of 38, just four days after the birth of her daughter, Rose Emilie Kleine. To become a mother at 38 must have been quite rare in the early 1900's.
Further observation of the inscription on the monument reveals that Rose Emilie, born on the 10th of March, 1910, died on the same day her mother did, both crossing to the next world together on 14 March, 1910. Little Emilie was just four days old.
The back of Vine Street Hill succumbs to the horrors of new cemeteries throughout the country, with flat, unremarkable stones that leave one with a feeling of aridity.
If you make a visit to Vine Street Hill Cemetery, do not miss your chance to see Spring Grove, the largest nonprofit private cemetery in the United States, a mere four minute drive to the northwest.
