Oak Grove Cemetery Chapel Needs a New Roof!
My intentions were to publish a book
on this cemetery, but it is proving to be too time consuming for researchers.
I may still publish a book, for now though I want to get the burials and other
information online.
Oak Grove Cemetery is perhaps one of the oldest
existing public cemeteries in Brunswick, and by existing I mean still viewable.
There is one older, but nothing remains of its existence, and it will be hard to
prove who was buried within. One known burial in that extinct City
Cemetery was Benjamin Hart, Revolutionary War Veteran who died in 1802.
All of the material on this site is mine [Amy
Hedrick] from personal transcriptions unless otherwise noted. Many
burials have been overlooked by the gentlemen who compiled two previous books on
the cemetery. Apparently they only used the cemetery records, and nothing
more. I have found several burials that existed in the cemetery when these
books were compiled, that have been completely overlooked.
Therefore, I think it's time to
create a new database. There are many, many unmarked graves in this
cemetery. Where possible, I have attached names to some of those unmarked
graves when a burial record was found.
