The Civil War and the Oakland Cemetery - Atlanta, Georgia
Learn more about the American Civil War at
Oakland cemetery exemplifies the 19th century rural garden movement that was a backlash against the busy, overcrowded city cemeteries. Characteristic of these garden cemeteries are shady trees, flowers and pathways that were meant to be enjoyed by the living as well as provide a beautiful, final resting place for loved ones. Oakland cemetery started in the 1850's with an original 6 acres of land
purchased by the City fathers. Oakland was renamed in 1872 due to the large number of oak and magnolia trees growing on its grounds. The cemetery is best known for being the final resting place for over 3,000 Confederate soldiers who were disinterred from nearby battlefields.
By the early 1870's, the cemetery had expanded to 48 acres due to the pressures of the Civil War. With the onset of the Civil War, the City added land to bury soldiers who died in local hospitals. Atlanta hospitals overflowed with men wounded in battles and the largest number of wartime hospitals were within half a mile of the cemetery.
As deaths mounted, the land around the cemetery was secured as a Confederate burial ground. After the war, several thousand soldiers who had fallen in the Atlanta campaign were moved from battlefield graves to Oakland. The cemetery reached its present size by 1867.
Confederate Memorial Grounds
This section is the final resting place for approximately 6,900 Confederate soldiers including 3,000 unknowns. When you enter from the main gate, the massive spire of the Confederate Obelisk provides an orienting landmark. The 65-foot monument was made of Stone Mountain granite and dedicated on April 26, 1874 by the Atlanta Ladies Memorial Association. For many years it was the tallest structure in the city. Also included are the headstones of 16 Union soldiers who died in local hospitals. Another area of marked Confederate graves lies along Oakland's southern wall.
Lion of the Confederacy
To the Northeast of the Obelisk, lies the most famous marker being the massive Lion of Atlanta guarding approximately 3,000 graves of unknown Confederate soldiers disinterred from the battlefield. The Confederate section of Oakland is home to an estimated 6,900 burials, of which about 3,000 are unknown. The Lion was modelled after the Swiss Lion of Lucerneand was carved by T. M. Brady in 1894 from the largest block of marble quarried from Tate, Georgia. The dying lion rests on the Confederate flag they followed and guards their dust, in the words of a commemorative poem.
To the Northwest, very close to the obelisk itself, are buried four Confederate generals, John B. Gordon, Lucius J. Gartrell, Clement A. Evans, and William Wright. Two historical markers in the cemetery explain its connection with important events during the Civil War.
The Great Locomotive Chase
The first is the site where seven spies of the Great Locomotive Chase were hanged near the south-east corner of the cemetery. On April 12, 1862, Union soldiers known as Andrews Raiders, led by civilian scout James J. Andrews, commandeered a train at present-day Kennesaw, GA and raced north to Ringgold, GA to cut telegraph lines doing as much damage as possible while pursued by other locomotives. They were captured and condemned as spies. Seven were hanged and temporarily interred in Oakland cemetery before being moved to the National Cemetery at Chattanooga. Andrews was tried in Chattanooga and found guilty. He was executed by hanging on June 7 in Atlanta. Andrews was hanged in downtown Atlanta and there is a plaque marking this historic event at the corner of 3rd Street and Juniper Street. On June 18, the seven others who had been convicted as spies were returned to Atlanta also hanged.
Confederate Headquarters
The second historical marker is north of the Bell Tower where a two-story farmhouse stood in the summer of 1864. It was a headquarters for Confederate commander John B. Hood during the Battle of Atlanta, which was fought to the east of the cemetery on July 22. In 1976, Oakland was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Oakland cemetery provides a look at the rich and vibrant Civil War past of the city of Atlanta and provides guided walking tours, twilight tours, and even boats a visitors centre and museum shop. It is an important part of Altanta's history and a must-see stop for any serious Civil War aficionado.

Haunted Places and Legends in the Miami Valley
DAYTON--With Halloween upon us, not only will little ghosts and goblins be out and about., but the bigger, scarier kinds as well. The state of Ohio has it's fair share of haunted sites. There's even a website to guide you thru all the scare houses and local ghostly legends, so we wanted to explore some of the more popular haunted attractions in the greater Dayton area. This is what we found.House of Chambers in Middletown claims to be a haunted house that's really scary with over 30 rooms and 100 doors. It promises to exploit your fears and make them a reality.But if you're looking for a little less fright and a little more legend, check out Woodland Cemetery in Dayton.Near the entrance you will come across the grave of little Johnny Morehouse. The boy died in 1860 when he was just five years old. And Johnny Morehouse was playing with his dog at canal...and he fell into canal and drowned... his dog pulled him out of the canal, said Debra Mescher from the Woodland Historic Cemetery and Arboretum.Since then, people from all over the world leave toys, trinkets and candy on little Johnny's gravestone.The dog would come supposedly to his grave everyday because he missed him so much, said Mescher.Over the years, people claim to see ghosts of the boy and his faithful dog playing in the cemetery.The ridge street bridge in Dayton is said to be haunted by the ghostly sounds of Bessie Little.Apparently, Bessie was pregnant and her lover Albert Frantz didn't want to marry her so he shot her and threw her body over the bridge in 1896. Albert's Frantz petitioned for life in prison instead of the death penalty, but it was denied and he was ultimately executed.Frankesteins castle, a large stone turret overlooking Dayton's community golf course, is said.. it was built atop a civil war burial ground. Legend has it, a young woman climbed to the top one night and committed suicide. Now it's said you can see her standing there... Wearing a long black robe walking around and looking over the edge.And then there's Blair Hall at Sinclair community collegeGina Neuerer is the lighting designer at the Main Theatre on campus with many a night alone in the theatre, she says she has no doubt ghosts loom inside.Others say strange noises are common place, like cats howling and babies crying.Some have felt people pulling on their hair or leaning against them when no one's around.So there's no shortage of haunted locations in the Miami Valley. You only have to look around, but beware if you dare.
Fewer veterans seek local support
A memorial day tradition at a Terre Haute cemetery revealed a sad trend of aging military veterans, especially those who are part of local organizations like the VFW.
The groups play important roles in ceremonies like the one today at Highland Lawn Cemetery.

Greenwood Cemetery, Atlanta Georgia
Greenwood Cemetery was very peaceful. Holds the graves of Samuel Truett Cathy - founder of Chick fil a and his wife Jeannette. But most impressive was the monument to the Six Million Jewish Martyrs - Holocaust Mass grave Dachau. On Sunday, April 25, 1965, were saved here for Eternal Rest ashes from the mass grave in Dachau of the Jewish Victims of the Nazi-Holocaust in Europe 1939-1945.
