About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Before Rose Hill, it was called the Village of Clark Cemetery. Rose Hill is located about a half mile north of Clark in Mt. Pleasant Township and the largest in the county. The Sloan family donated 10 acres for use as the town cemetery. It was incorporated in 1906 with Carl G. Sherwood as president of the board.

In the intervening years, it has increased in size and iscurrently 22 acres. Part of the northeast section, known as Potter's Field, has all children who died in the county poor farm house. Another larger section contains the pioneer names such as Bockoven, Fountain and Sherwood. South Dakota's fifth governor, Samuel H. Elrod, General S.J. Conklin and Captain William McSpadden plots can be located in this area too. The McSpadden plot also contains their servants, the Calvin Simmons family, who arrived in Clark in 1881 and built the Northwestern Hotel. The Simmons family was the first black family to arrive in Clark. The unmarked grave now has a headstone given by several local benefactors a number of years ago
