Rose Hill Cemetery
Manorbr/Travis County, Texas br/30 22.361' N 97 31.452' W br/br/Historical Marker: This burial ground served the Rose Hill Community originally known as Nelleville. The settlement was founded by German immigrant George Heinrich “Henry” Nelle and his wife Dora (Lohmann). They donated this property for cemetery use in 1887. The earliest know burials here, however, date to 1883. There are also a number of unmarked graves in the burial ground. Those interred included a Civil War veteran, farmers and other early settlers. The cemetery was associated with the Rose Hill Union Christian Church which later became Rose Hill German Lutheran Church. Today this burial ground remains a vestige of the Rose Hill Community, chronicling the pioneers who lived here in the late 19th and early 20th Century.
