An act to Incorporate the Proprietors of the Green Mount
Cemetery.

Preamble.

WHEREAS, several citizens of Baltimore, in this
State, hereinafter named, have associated for the pur-
pose of establishing a cemetery at Green Mount, the
seat of the late Robert Oliver, situated in the norther-
most portion of said city, containing about ninety-six
acres of land; and whereas, they have purchased the
said estate for the purpose of appropriating about
sixty contiguous acres of the same to the purposes ex-
clusively of a public cemetery: and whereas, it seems
reasonable and necessary to provide for the permanence
of the said establishment so that those who bury there,
may be assured of perpetual protection to the remains
of relatives and friends, and for the decent preserva-
tion of the grounds.
