CCBA Mount
Hope Project
Recently CCBA officers came across a document
which gave perspective to CCBA’s involvement with the
Chinese section of Mt. Hope Cemetery. The document stated
that in the 1930s, CCBA bought a piece of land in the
city-owned Mt. Hope Cemetery to provide a temporary burial
ground for Chinese sojourners whose remains would eventually
be sent home to their final resting place, sometimes
arranged by CCBA with community donations. The practice of
“going home” in death was disrupted by the war in China
against Japanese aggression and later by WWII and the
conflict between the Nationalist and the Communist Parties.
So here they remain, in a foreign land where they call home
in their afterlife.
