Body
Mary Lynn was responsible for the donation of the Rose Hill Cemetery site to Emmanuel Episcopal Church. The original four acre tract (added to later) was given by Mary in 1851, immediately following the consecration service of the present Emmanuel Episcopal Church, constructed between 1849-1851. It was called Rose Hill as the Lynn home had been.
