Collection: Olio Township Cemetery - Eureka
Olio Cemetery was a special place to Rosemary Hartter, so much so that when she passed away in February, her final wish was to see the historical graveyard fitted with a new iron fence.
On July 3, the fence surrounding Hartter’s final resting place was completed, in part due to her financial contributions to the project while living, and donations made in her honor following her death.
“It was her wish that, upon her death, memorials be made to the fence fund,” Hartter’s daughter Jan Holliger said. “Over $5,000 was given and in her will she also left a considerable amount of money to the cemetery.”
Holliger, who took over as superintendent of the Eureka cemetery after her mother’s 2017 resignation, pitched in some of her own money, and, after Hohulin Fence Company lowered its bid a bit to help, the project was complete.
“It mattered so much to my mother and now it’s done,” Holliger said. “The fence company took the old fence, and it was sold to different pie
