Roslyn's 26 ethnic cemeteries are a visible reminder of the diverse mix of settlers who made the town a thriving community after coal was discovered in 1886. As the mines tapped out by the mid-1900s, the cemeteries became a forgotten treasure. Roslyn Cemetery Commission Chair Dick Watts, who has spent countless hours taking care of the cemeteries' grounds (and rallied a core of volunteers to do the same), has inspired a renewed community commitment to the cemeteries by developing a five-year plan to protect the historic sites.
