Oakland Cemetery is he largest cemetery in Drew County. Many early settlers are buried in the Old Cemetery section with dates going back to the mid 1800's. A monument commemorating the Confederate Soldiers of Drew County 1861-1865 was erected by the William F. Slemons Chapter, UDC in 1914 and appears to be standing guard over the Old Cemetery section. It is said that William Pinkney Burks was first to be buried there in 1866. The story is told that a road had to be cut into the cemetery because the timber was so dense. A deed, dated November 1, 1866 states that William D. Ford and wife, Susan Ford sold to the City of Monticello 15 acres tro be ud for a cemetery. Mrs. William F. Pierce sold land to the cemetery on May 6,m 1929, Liza Patton sold land June 8, 1929, S.D. Larkin sold three acres on March 22, 1935 and Maggie Patton sold land on December 9, 1947. (Many people chose to have their family member exhumed from small rural cemeteries and reburied in the Oakland Cemetery, therefore some death dates are earlier than 1866.
