A new enumeration of this cemetery has been finished.  However, since it contains more than 7,000 graves and is more than 300 printed pages long it is too large to be posted here.

This book is currently sold out.  Linda Feagin Harwell made this cemetery available in a printed book.  It has a complete index.  The cost of the Oakland Cemetery book is $35.00 (including Shipping & Handling).  Contact Linda Harwell via e-mail at hotwheels.1943@yahoo.com to order.

There is a special place in this cemetery where the Graves of the British Pilots of WW II are in Oakland Cemetery.

OAKLAND MEMORIAL PARK

After Terrell was established as a railroad town in 1873, its citizens saw the need for a community burial ground.  In 1878 John R. Terrell sold 7 acres of land for use as a cemetery, and the first burials were those of Peter Meinenger and Dr. G. W. Ridgell.  In 1925 the Oakland Cemetery Association was founded to provide perpetual care for the gravesites.  The name Oakland Memorial Park was adopted in 1931.  Among those buried here are professional artist Frank Reaugh and 20 members of the British Royal Air Force who were killed while in training at Terrell during World War II.
