Constellation Similarity Assertions

Cave Hill was a city cemetery for several years before being incorporated in 1848 by the state legislature as a rural, non-profit organization. Accordingly, many of the graves date from 1848, though earlier graves were removed from private family plots to Cave Hill from 1848 through 1900. One of these was General George Rogers Clark, who died and was buried on the Locust Grove plantation in 1818, but reinterred at Cave Hill in the 1860s. Since part of Cave Hill has been designated a national cemetery, there are a number of military graves, including many from the Civil War.

In 1882, the state legislature chartered an company auxiliary to the Cave Hill Cemetery Company. This organization, the Cave Hill Investment Company, supervised a fund for maintenance of the property.
