CEMETERY SUBJECT FILES

The cemetery files are comprised of Franklin Garrett’s cemetery records for DeKalb County, Georgia. Mr. Garrett created these records in 1930 and 1931 by visiting cemeteries within a 25 mile radius of Five Points in Atlanta and transcribing the headstones. The original Garrett cemetery records can be found at the Atlanta History Center which is located in the Buckhead area of Atlanta.

The DeKalb History Center thanks Mr. Garrett for allowing them to share his cemetery records through this website. Special thanks also go to Shirley Brown of Stone Mountain and Bill King of the Paideia School, both of whom performed many hours of data entry to complete this database. DHC also thanks Mary West, who is fast becoming an authority on the cemeteries of DeKalb.
