Subject: Paupers Cemetery in Atlanta

Pat asked:
"Does anyone know the name of the paupers cemetery in and near Atlanta from
1914 on, and where I could write to that has the records of who is buried
there."

A four-acre area on the extreme east end of Atlanta's Oakland Cemetery is
where 17,000 paupers rest. See http://www.mindspring.com/~oaklandcemetery/

Garrett Necrology Records at the Atlanta History Center contain information
on men who were white, above the age of 21, connected to either Fulton or
DeKalb county and deceased prior to 1932. There is some Oakland pauper
information in Garret's work.
