Ground for the Mount Holly Cemetery was deeded by Chester Ashley and Roswell Beebe to the City of Little Rock (Pulaski County). This burial site, located on a four-square block between 11th and 13th Streets from Broadway to Gaines Street, took the place of private family cemeteries and a public burial ground that was located on the grounds of the present-day Federal Building.
