href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">U.S.</a> Founded as Atlanta Cemetery in 1850 on six acres (2.4 hectares) of land southeast of the city, it was renamed in 1872 to reflect the large number of <a href="/wiki/Oak" title="Oak">oak</a> and <a href="/wiki/Magnolia" title="Magnolia">magnolia</a> trees growing in the area. By that time, the city had grown and the cemetery had enlarged correspondingly to the current 48 acres (190,000 m<sup>2</sup>). Since then, Atlanta has continued to expand so that the cemetery is now located in the center of the city. Oakland is an excellent example of a <a href="/wiki/Victorian_era" title="Victorian era">Victorian</a>-style cemetery, and reflects the "garden cemetery" movement started and exemplified by <a href="/wiki/Mount_Auburn_Cemetery" title="Mount Auburn Cemetery">Mount Auburn Cemetery</a> in <a href="/wiki/Massachusetts" title="Massachusetts">Massachusetts</a>. </p><p>The original 6 acres (24,000 m<sup>2</sup>) of Oakland remains one of the oldest historical plots of land in Atlanta, most of the rest of the city having been <a href="/wiki/Atlanta_Campaign" class="mw-redirect" title="Atlanta Campaign">burned</a> in 1864. Because of its age and location, the cemetery directly reflects the history and changing culture of the City of Atlanta and the significant events it has seen. Names of Atlanta streets, buildings, parks, subdivisions, and more can be found within the cemetery gates. An estimated 70,000 people are interred at Oakland, and while the last plots were sold in 1884, there are still regular burials today. These are largely conducted on family-owned plots or areas owned by Atlanta (one of the most recent being former mayor <a href="/wiki/Maynard_Jackson" title="Maynard Jackson">Maynard Jackson</a>, whose plot was contributed by the city).<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Sections">Sections</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Oakland_Cemetery_(Atlanta)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Sections"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Original_6_acres_(24,000_m2)"><span id="Original_6_acres_.2824.2C000_m2.29"></span>Original 6 acres (24,000 m<sup>2</sup>)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Oakland_Cemetery_(Atlanta)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Original 6 acres (24,000 m2)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Oakland-Section_map.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/40/Oakland-Section_map.jpg/220px-Oakland-Section_map.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="151" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/40/Oakland-Section_map.jpg/330px-Oakland-Section_map.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/40/Oakland-Section_map.jpg/440px-Oakland-Section_map.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1460" data-file-height="1000" /></a><figcaption>Aerial map</figcaption></figure> <p>Immediately upon entering the gates of Oakland is found the original 6 acres (24,000 m<sup>2</sup>) purchased for use as the Atlanta Cemetery in 1850.

After a short distance along a brick walkway, Oakland's first resident since its establishment can be found. Dr. James Nissen was a medical doctor visiting Atlanta who fell ill and died in 1850. Legend has it that Dr. Nissen shared a common fear of the day, being buried alive. Therefore, before his death he asked that his <a href="/wiki/Jugular_vein" title="Jugular vein">jugular vein</a> be cut prior to his burial to ensure he did not wake up later under the ground. Being the oldest grave in Oakland since its designation as a city cemetery, Nissen's headstone is nearly completely worn away by the passage of time and the elements. The inscription is only known due to an extensive survey of Atlanta cemeteries performed in the 1930s by <a href="/wiki/Franklin_Garrett" title="Franklin Garrett">Franklin Garrett</a>. Back towards the main gates of Oakland on a plot donated by the City of Atlanta lies Martha Lumpkin Compton.

During the <a href="/wiki/American_Civil_War" title="American Civil War">Civil War</a>, Atlanta was a major transportation and medical center for the Southern states. Since several of the largest military hospitals in the area were within a half mile (800 m) from Oakland, many soldiers who died from their wounds were buried here. Shortly after the war ended, a few thousand fallen soldiers from the <a href="/wiki/Atlanta_Campaign" class="mw-redirect" title="Atlanta Campaign">Atlanta Campaign</a> who were previously buried in battleground graves were moved to the Confederate grounds in Oakland. The area is marked by a large monument known as the <a href="/wiki/Confederate_Obelisk" title="Confederate Obelisk">Confederate Obelisk</a>. This 65 foot (20 m) tall <a href="/wiki/Obelisk" title="Obelisk">obelisk</a> is made from granite quarried from <a href="/wiki/Stone_Mountain" title="Stone Mountain">Stone Mountain</a> and was dedicated on April 26, 1874, the anniversary of <a href="/wiki/Joseph_E._Johnston" title="Joseph E.

Of special note are the 16 marked graves of Union soldiers that are buried alongside Confederate soldiers. This practice was very uncommon at the time, but was likely done at Oakland due to dwindling burial space. Formerly located in the Confederate section was the <i>Lion of the Confederacy</i>, or <i>Lion of Atlanta</i>.

The burial sites, and the headstones and monuments marking them, reflect the blending of the <a href="/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Germany" title="History of the Jews in Germany">German-Jewish culture</a> of which the Benevolent Congregation was primarily comprised, and the American culture that the community had adopted. In contrast to this cultural blending are the resting places of members of the Ahavath Achim Synagogue, to which the Benevolent Congregation sold some of the plots. Members of the Ahavath Achim Synagogue were mostly <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Europe" title="Eastern Europe">Eastern European</a> Jewish immigrants who were much more <a href="/wiki/Orthodox_Judaism" title="Orthodox Judaism">Orthodox</a>. Unlike the Benevolent Congregation, the Synagogue sought to preserve their <a href="/wiki/Shtetl" title="Shtetl">traditional culture</a> and to avoid cultural blending. This is evident in the grave sites of members of the Synagogue, which are identifiable by their use of the <a href="/wiki/Hebrew_language" title="Hebrew language">Hebrew language</a> and engravings of traditional <a href="/wiki/Judaism" title="Judaism">Jewish</a> symbols.

By 1884 all of the traditional plots at Oakland had been sold. This meant that peoples' only options for burial at Oakland were to either buy a plot from a private owner or be buried in Potter's Field, and records show that many people opted for the latter. Potter's Field makes a significant contribution to the number of residents at Oakland, as indicated by a 1978 archaeological survey conducted by <a href="/wiki/Georgia_State_University" title="Georgia State University">Georgia State University</a> that revealed the entire area to be occupied by an estimated 17,000 persons. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Black_section">Black section</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Oakland_Cemetery_(Atlanta)&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Black section"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>This section of the cemetery is a testament to the period of history during which <a href="/wiki/Racial_segregation" title="Racial segregation">segregation</a> was at its height in the United States. The entire cemetery reflects the great cultural changes that occurred in Atlanta during its service; from the <a href="/wiki/Jim_Crow_law" class="mw-redirect" title="Jim Crow law">Jim Crow</a> era exhibited by the segregated black section to the modern era that strives for social equality, as shown by the recent burial of <a href="/wiki/Maynard_Jackson" title="Maynard Jackson">Maynard Jackson</a> on a plot in the original 6 acres (24,000 m<sup>2</sup>) of Oakland. One striking feature that visitors will notice is that the black section, similarly to the adjoining Potter's Field, lacks a great deal of headstones, monuments, and grave markers in general. This is because many grave markers here were made of wood and other <a href="/wiki/Biodegradable" class="mw-redirect" title="Biodegradable">biodegradable</a> materials. These markers have succumbed to the passing of time and as a result have rendered a large portion of the grave sites in the black section unknown. Despite the social difficulties that had to be overcome by African-Americans living in the Southern states at the time, there are several outstanding black figures buried at Oakland who made significant contributions to the history of Atlanta. Some of these include Bishop Wesley John Gaines, Reverend Frank Quarles (an early benefactor of <a href="/wiki/Morehouse_College" title="Morehouse College">Morehouse College</a>), Carrie Steele Logan, and <a href="/wiki/Antoine_Graves_(person)" class="mw-redirect" title="Antoine Graves (person)">Antoine Graves</a>, the owner of the only mausoleum in the black section. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Bell_Tower">Bell Tower</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Oakland_Cemetery_(Atlanta)&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Bell Tower"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:OaklandCemetery-BellTower.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c2/OaklandCemetery-BellTower.jpg/220px-OaklandCemetery-BellTower.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="191" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c2/OaklandCemetery-BellTower.jpg/330px-OaklandCemetery-BellTower.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c2/OaklandCemetery-BellTower.jpg/440px-OaklandCemetery-BellTower.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1152" data-file-height="998" /></a><figcaption>Bell Tower Building</figcaption></figure> <p>Before the Bell Tower was constructed in 1899, a farmhouse owned by James E.

The Bell Tower building as it stands today was originally the sexton's office and living quarters. Atop the tower is a bell that was formerly used to signal for workers to gather at that location, and for funerals. The basement was used as a vault for storing coffins awaiting burial. In 1998 the Bell Tower building saw extensive restoration and now serves as the offices of the Historic Oakland Foundation as well as the cemetery's visitor center. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Monuments_and_mausolea">Monuments and mausolea</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Oakland_Cemetery_(Atlanta)&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Monuments and mausolea"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:OaklandCemetery-NealMonument2.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/OaklandCemetery-NealMonument2.jpg/170px-OaklandCemetery-NealMonument2.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="227" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/OaklandCemetery-NealMonument2.jpg/255px-OaklandCemetery-NealMonument2.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/OaklandCemetery-NealMonument2.jpg/340px-OaklandCemetery-NealMonument2.jpg 2x" data-file-width="993" data-file-height="1326" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Neoclassicism" title="Neoclassicism">Neoclassical</a> Neal Monument</figcaption></figure><p>As with most cemeteries of comparable size and age, Oakland contains numerous monuments and <a href="/wiki/Mausoleum" title="Mausoleum">mausolea</a> that are often outstanding examples of art and symbolism, or are of great historical significance.

The mausoleum was constructed by Alfred Austell, one of the founders of Atlanta National Bank, in the <a href="/wiki/Gothic_Revival" class="mw-redirect" title="Gothic Revival">Gothic Revival</a> style. The Austell Mausoleum cost around $90,000 to build in the 1880s, and is estimated to cost over $3 million to replace by today's standards.

Of course, time sees the movement of families and the general disconnection with ancestors as generations pass. Because of this, many grave sites have fallen into disrepair from neglect and sometimes vandalism. Therefore, shortly after Oakland was added to the <a href="/wiki/National_Register_of_Historic_Places" title="National Register of Historic Places">National Register of Historic Places</a> on April 28, 1976, the Historic Oakland Foundation was established. The Foundation has overseen the restoration and upkeep of many grave sites, monuments, mausolea, and buildings that had been affected by the ravages of time. Their activity, which is supported by donations, grants, and special events, continues today as they maintain and restore the cemetery as well as provide guided tours of the grounds. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Notable_burials">Notable burials</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Oakland_Cemetery_(Atlanta)&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Notable burials"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:MargaretMitchell-grave.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e8/MargaretMitchell-grave.jpg/220px-MargaretMitchell-grave.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="187" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e8/MargaretMitchell-grave.jpg/330px-MargaretMitchell-grave.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e8/MargaretMitchell-grave.jpg/440px-MargaretMitchell-grave.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1114" data-file-height="946" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Margaret_Mitchell" title="Margaret Mitchell">Margaret Mitchell</a> Marsh</figcaption></figure> <ul><li>27 former <a href="/wiki/List_of_mayors_of_Atlanta" title="List of mayors of Atlanta">Atlanta mayors</a>, including: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Ivan_Allen,_Jr." class="mw-redirect" title="Ivan Allen, Jr.">Ivan Allen, Jr.</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Moses_Formwalt" title="Moses Formwalt">Moses Formwalt</a> (Atlanta's first mayor)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Maynard_Jackson" title="Maynard Jackson">Maynard Jackson</a> (Atlanta's first African-American mayor)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/S._B._Spencer" title="S.
