Rochester State Hospital (Minn.)

The Rochester State Hospital Cemetery was originally named Rosemont, with the male patients buried south of, and the female patients north of, the road which ran down the center of the cemetery. In 1940, that practice ended and the sites were then filled in sequence of death until the last burial in 1965. Over 2000 bodies and body parts were laid to rest in the cemetery over the institution's existence.

The cemetery's location as of 2002 was in the City of Rochester's Quarry Hill Park. A large grassy meadow, only a few flush ground memorials from original burials and a few markers added by relatives remained on the site, as well as a large granite monument erected in 1979 in memory of all patients buried there.
