Land for a big portion of the ceme- tery was purchased from W. K. Mauney December 1, 1923 and the lots there start at No. 100 bought by H. D. Fulton December 30, 1907. An old section of the ceme- tery is Potters Field. A rate sched- ule dated August 14, 1924 noted that grave service for persons un- der 8 years of age was $3 and for persons over 8 years of age the fee was $5. An extra $1 would enable the family to have a Sunday ser- vice. Poor and destitute people could be buried in the Field with- out charge when the mayor certi- fied said circumstances. Vacant space in the old cemetery could be purchased at a cost of $10 per grave space up to four graves. Lots in the new cemetery were sold at 60-90 cents per square foot. Bennett said that as the years passed the cemetery costs went up and new lots had to be restricted to those people residing within the DICKEY From Page 1-A ested in the whole community."

A graduate of Kings Mountain High School, Bennett, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Bennett, attended Lenoir Rhyne College and served in the Army during World War II. Before he graduated high school he worked for his uncle, the late C.T. Bennett, at Bennett Construction Company and Bennett Brick & Tile Company. From 1959 until he retired in the early part of 1985, he was manager of Bennett Brick & Tile. "I loved everything about bricks and did a little of everything in those years," said Bennett, who worked at the plant when Phifer Road was a dirt road and there were few houses in that area of the city which now is heavily traveled and heavily popu- lated with houses and school chil- dren at the two big schools, KM High and KM Middle School. Bennett said he stayed at home a few days after retirement and found retirement wasn't for him. He applied for a job with the City of Kings Mountain and worked for several months with Moss Lake Authority and Phil Witherspoon at Moss lake until he became the city's fourth cemetery superinten- dent. Bennett says improvements at the cemetery soon will see a new entrance on King and Deal Streets using rocks to match the Suber Gate instead of the present columns.

He is a charter member of Kings Mountain Rotary Club. Working with Bennett at the cemetery are Ralph Champion and Richard Rosenbeck and Bennett says he appreciates them and the various: morticians he becomes i contact with on a regular basis. i None of us like to lose a loved one but we know this is a service someone has to perform and I try to give my best,” says Bennett, who takes pride in the green lawns, neat burial plots and tombstones now covering a wide area of the cemetery. Bennett says Kings Mountain people help keep the cemetery pretty with flowers at all seasons and patriotic organizations decorate the graves of servicemen with flags on special holidays. "We think Mountain Rest Cemetery is a place to be proud of," he said. Phifer Hardware Co. 101 S.
