Oakland Cemetery


Today at Oakland Cemetery we learned that there are different grave stones like bed and mausoleums. We learned who is buried there like Margaret Mitchell who wrote ‘’Gone With The Wind’’, Joe Jacobs owned a drug store that sold the first Coca – Cola, and Jasper Newton Smith who didn’t like to ware a tie and he wanted to greet people who came in. That is just a few of the many people that are buried there. We learned about what the Confederate Lion of Atlanta and that it was the stone for the unknown solders. And about Bobby Jones the golf player. He won the grand slam golf when he was about 14. That the most of what we learned.



I thought the first time before the trip I thought it was sad to see all the people there and my family members. But after a little ways when I was there I felt a little better. It was cool with all the graves and how the graves were made. The angles, the art on the them, and the how they put the plants. Sometimes to was loud noises, but it was fine. One of my BFF’s was there with me so we had some good times there. I hope to see my family members again tomorrow. I think I will. My class can visit them too. Over all it a ok trip and hope everybody enjoyed it.
