Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oak Hill Cemetery is a unique gem: a premier example of a 19 th century garden park cemetery hidden on a hillside in Washington, D.C.'s oldest neighborhood: Georgetown. The hill that Oak Hill now calls home was once called Parrott's Woods; a tree-covered park popular with Georgetown residents, and a favorite picnic location for the Fourth of July. In 1849, William Wilson Corcoran, a D.C. banker and philanthropist, purchased the land from a great-nephew of George Washington. Mr. Corcoran's vision for Oak Hill Cemetery was that it was to be a place for families to bury and commemorate their loved ones while at the same time being in a place of great natural beauty and inspiration for all to enjoy. Oak Hill was officially established by an act of Congress on March 3, 1849. W.W. Corcoran hired US Navy captain George de la Roche as master engineer to lay out the cemetery and design the Gatehouse. In 1850, Corcoran commissioned James Renwick Jr. to construct a small Gothic Revival Chapel; construction took three years. Oak Hill Cemetery is host to many notable historic figures and Washingtonians. Abolitionists, ambassadors, authors, artists, inventors, politicians, scholars, and soldiers rest safely in Oak Hill; and hundreds of stories have yet to be told. Today, Oak Hill is an active cemetery with a mission to serve the community, and preserve our historic grounds, structures, and records.

Book excerpt: Oak Hill Cemetery, Birmingham's first city cemetery, is located north of the downtown area and within its walls are the gravestones of many of the city's founders, including Birmingham's first mayor, Robert Henley; William Mudd, who built Arlington Antebellum Home; several governors, and veterans from every war. Strolling through the cemetery is like walking into an outdoor classroom. From a preservation perspective, cemeteries provide essential elements of societies' collective history, including insight into past burial customs, religious beliefs, cultural and ethnic influences, community origins and development, and landscape design principles. Many remnants from the beginnings of a town or city may be lost, but cemeteries often remain as some of the last tangible links to the past.1 Oak Hill Cemetery provides that link for Birmingham. This thesis will follow Birmingham, beginning with the origination of the city as a new industrial center that grew faster than anticipated and with this came growing pains. With so many individuals moving to the city, diseases, accidents, and murders became everyday occurrences, making a City Cemetery crucial. In the second chapter we will discuss Oak Hill Cemetery specifically, including its historical significance. People viewed death in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries as a morbid and frightening thing, but as the nineteenth century continued and Romanticism became popular, people no longer saw death as the end of a person's life, but the beginning of a new one. Rural cemeteries such as Oak Hill became popular during this time with their welcoming park-like atmosphere. Finally, in chapter three we will continue with stories of the more famous individuals that can be found interred within Oak Hill. Every person interred there and every story told provides small pieces of a bigger historical puzzle. While many of the individuals discussed within this chapter were connected to Oak Hill only through their final resting place, they were still conduits of history that highlight not only the cemetery itself, but also the people and events that shaped the foundation of the city of Birmingham.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oak-Hill Cemetery, or a Treatise on the Fatal Effects Resulting From the Location of Cemeteries in the Immediate Vicinity of Towns The following Treatise is intended to awaken the people of the District, and particularly the inhabitants of Georgetown, to a sense of a most serious danger, which threatens their health and their lives; and to induce them to unite in making an effort to avert from themselves a dreadful calamity. To this end, it is proposed to state the impressions of the most intelligent communities, in relation to the practice of inhumation in or near towns: to give the opinions of learned divines, and of eminent medical men, who have patiently investigated this subject, and to present some of the facts on which these opinions and those impressions were founded. We will then proceed to show, that the establishment of the oak-hill Cemetery, in the vicinity of Georgetown, must necessarily be followed by the most fatal consequences.
