Ancestors, Legends & TimeJeanne NewbyMay 8, 2024 From the article: "On the 12th of April 1905, 11 businessmen from Webb City and Joplin incorporated a business and purchased the 77 acres from Eliza Jane Webb Bigger and her older children for $11,500. The 11 men were: W.S. Chinn, Thomas F. Coyne, James H. Dangerfield, R.B. Dodge, W.S. Gunning, J.A. Hardy, Sr., J.M. Leonard, George W. Moore, A.H. Rogers, Thomas J. Roney, and Charles Schifferdecker. They were very prominent and influential men banding together with a plan in mind. The name of their corporation was The Mount Hope Cemetery Association of Jasper County, Missouri. They had plans to turn the hill known as Pilot Grove and The Bigger Place into a beautiful, park-like cemetery, Mount Hope, in tribute to the early pioneers of Jasper County. The original entrance to the Mount Hope Cemetery had a three-story club house to the left, the office to the right and a water tower. The club house was torn down in 1957, and a new superintendent office was built in its place."
