He is best known for being the original guitarist for the B-52’s, which he started with his high school friend, Keith Strickland, playing as Black Narcissus. The band formed as the B-52’s in 1976 after some drinks at a Chinese restaurant here in Athens. They took to a ‘stream-of-consciousness’ lyric writing style that made them stand out. Their debut single ‘Rock Lobster’ got a lukewarm reception at first, but when re-released in 1979 it made it into the Top 40 in both the US and the UK. His friend, Keith Strickland was originally the drummer and switched to guitarist after Wilson died from an AIDS-related illness in a New York hospital bed. While upset at the tragedy, the band would bounce back from grief with their best hit, ‘Love Shack,’ and other tops songs. Wilson is buried near his father, who was also a true Athenian, serving the local fire department for 27 years. He unfortunately lived long enough to see his son die, but also saw him become hugely successful.

He was born on September 14, 1843, in Virginia. Later, he attended school at UGA, class of 1861. He then enlisted into the Confederate military artillery unit called Troup Artillery, originally named The National Artillery also in 1861. Troup Artillery was based in Athens, Georgia until 1861 when they left for Savannah, Georgia. There they drilled for two months at Fort Pulaski, the military base on Tybee Island. Fort Pulaski, because of its location, had a problem with the heat and as a result, many of the soldiers had been struck with heat stroke. George B. Atkisson made it through the training and by July, the regiment had left Savannah and was moved to Richmond Virginia. His regiment remained in Virginia but soon became part of the Cobb’s Legion in Yorktown where George B. Atkisson became an officer. On September 17, 1862, he was shot in Battle of Antietam in Sharpsburg, Maryland and was the first battle of the Civil War to take place on northern soil. The battle ended in a draw that was only slightly in the Union’s favor by stopping the Confederate advance. It is known as the bloodiest day in American history with more than 22,000 dead by the end of the battle. George B. Atkisson was shot in the thigh during the battle and was sent to Shepardstown to recover from his wounds. He was stationed along the Potomac River in West Virginia and was given Garrison Duty instead of active duty because of his injuries. He remained on active duty for the next two years, moving around Virginia and eventually was stationed back in Georgia. He was retired from active duty in 1864 and was “subject to call” the end of the war according to his obituary printed in the Banner Herald’s article “Death Claims Dr. Geo. B. Atkisson.” Afterwards, he attended medical school at the Atlanta Medical College where he graduated in 1866. He used his medical degree to teach rather than to practice as a physician, and was associated with several private schools throughout Georgia. He became a teacher like his sister Fannie Atkisson who was a school teacher who taught out of an old repurposed Catholic Church. In 1884, he had one of his letters to his sister printed in the newspaper about his experience surviving a cyclone. The article, “The Late Cyclone” was printed in the Weekly Banner’s March 4, 1884 edition. The cyclone swept through the town of Davisboro where he lived. He credited the natural disaster with bringing him closer to death then any battle he had ever been in. The cyclone had destroyed many houses in the town making it look more like ruins than a living town. His house one of the few that were left standing, and as a result, he and his children lived in one room of their house and had to those that lost their homes stay in the other rooms. The business district of Davisboro was entirely decimated. The cyclone did horrific property damage to the point where “You could not step without touching some sort of debris”, but amazingly only had one fatality in his account, a person who was caught outside during the storm. This was one of many tornados that happened on February 19, 1884, it what is now called the Enigma Tornado Outbreak where an estimated fifty tornados were formed between the 19th and 20th of February that year. By the time he died, Dr. George B Atkisson had had many children, Maude, Eva, Annie, Ellis, and Horace Baber Atkisson, most of whom are buried next to him at Oconee Hill Cemetery; next to him is also his sister Fannie Atkisson. He died in 1923 of natural causes at age 80. Atkisson Plot WH74 SP16 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It is recorded that she lived during the mid 1910s on Milledge Avenue and moved to Baxter Street by the early 1920s. She was an active socialite in the Athens community, frequently attending social events like teas and the Dearing Street Dancing club’s evenings, where her attire was often chronicled in the Athens Banner. She appears to have also had a passing interest in acting, having played the supporting role of Sissy in the Colonial Theater’s amateur production of “Deestrick Skule.” She held several leadership roles in community organizations, apart from being a member of the Garden Club. Baxter was the chairman of the social service committee for the Business and Professional Women’s Club and the chairman of the nominating committee for the Young Women’s Christian Association. She was also a member of the invitations committee that helped to organized Georgia Day, an annual national event for UGA alumni. She received an AB from UGA in 1923. She then worked as a secretary to UGA’s chancellor “Uncle Dave” Barrow. She and her husband made frequent visits to Atlanta to visit her sister, the well-known Carolyn Cobb. https://digilab.libs.uga.edu/cemetery/files/original/135d88f55ef07217220121014bb19989.jpg bcb2a3fa6ceeddf59fce2d2f5ae36bde https://digilab.libs.uga.edu/cemetery/files/original/28e44672fde28f46450029e8f938c218.jpg b19f67be2626e9096603e7029c6e3fb9 https://digilab.libs.uga.edu/cemetery/files/original/0e66352611e9609801fa76819a456a60.pdf 7cf5359bbbc4e7bd77bfd29c879ba81e https://digilab.libs.uga.edu/cemetery/files/original/8a5df519fa00a03903fa32c353e93579.pdf aaf49d334e7754086ccf1ef81a25a5a4 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Glenn was primarily raised in McDonough, Georgia and at the age of twenty he began studying University of Georgia, where he was a member of the Phi Kappa Literary Society. Glenn graduated with honors in 1842. In that same year, he married Mildred Lewis Cobb, a member of the prominent Cobb family. Shortly after their marriage, Glenn and his new bride moved to McDonough where Glenn began to practice law. While in McDonough, Mildred gave birth to three of their six children, John in 1844, Sarah in 1846 and Howell in 1849. Glenn represented the county three times as a member of the legislator. Even though he had established a successful law firm, Glenn had higher aspirations—to be a politician, so in 1851 he and his family moved to Atlanta. The move to Atlanta proved fruitful, as Glenn served as Mayor of Atlanta in 1858 and 1859. He was the first Mayor to create regular committees that were in charge of the oversight of the various functions of city government such as the fire department, and the upkeep of streets. At the onset of the Civil War, Glenn served as the commissioner from Georgia to the Missouri Secession Convention. At this convention he read Georgia’s Articles for Secession and worked tirelessly to persuade the members of Missouri’s government to join Georgia and secede from the Union. Although Missouri ultimately did not seceded, Glenn was highly respected for his gallant effort at the convention. Luther J. Glenn also served the Confederacy as a solider in the C Company, part of Cobb’s legion which Thomas Cobb, Mildred’s uncle, lead. According to His obituary, Glenn first served as the commander of the C Company, later becoming the Lt. Colonel. Glenn was injured at the battle of Fredericksburg in December of 1862. He was shot through the left arm, an injury that never fully healed and according to his obituary, caused him discomfort for the rest of his life. Being the Colonel of the C Company, it was his responsibility to surrender the remaining Confederate troops of Atlanta to the 1st Ohio Calvary, which occurred on May 3rd, 1865. Luther J Glenn was a prominent member of the Masonic Society. He eventually served as high priest of the Mt. Zion Royal Arch Masons. According to his obituary, he was one of the most devoted masons to ever be and he served the order in every way he possibly could. In addition to being a member of the Masonic order, Luther Glenn was also a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows or I.O.O.F. I.O.OF is an organization started in the 19th century to help those in need. In 1873, Glenn was elected as an officer of this organization and according to the August 4th, 1891 Athens Weekly Banner “he (Glenn) held the highest rank of odd fellowship in the world”. In 1892, after his passing, the Grand lodge of the I.O.O.F was renamed in his honor.

Harris, a prominent figure from Athens, lived until the age of 48, from 1809 to 1857. Born in Elbert County, Georgia to Stephen Willis Harris and Sarah Herndon Harris, he went on to attend the University of Georgia in 1828. There, he studied through the law program and passed the bar exam in 1830. Harris then opened a law practice and carried out his career in law in Athens, but soon moved into the political realm, serving in the Georgia State House of Representatives from 1834-1835. Three years later, he aimed for a more prominent role in politics, and moved to Wetumpka, Alabama, where he became the solicitor of the Eighth Circuit. In 1844 and 1845, he was elected to and served in the State Senate of Alabama. His final role was during the years of 1846-1855, where he served in the United States House of Representatives on behalf of Alabama. However, Harris soon fell into poor health, and turned down another bid for Congress. He passed away a few short weeks later in Washington, DC, and was brought back to Athens, Georgia. He was survived by his wife, Paulina Harris, and four of his five siblings. A small monument still stands in Washington, DC, commemorating Harris and his work for his country.

Following his death, Adair’s body was sent back to his home and he is now laid to rest at the historic Oconee Hill Cemetery in Athens, Georgia along with several of his family members. Chester was born to Joseph Thomas Adair, a railway engineer, and Fannie Orilla Richey Adair, a housewife, on November 14, 1893. He had two younger brothers- James Thomas and Luther Carlton. Chester was described as having a reserved and quiet disposition and was well-known and well-liked in the community. He and his family were members of the First Methodist Church and Chester had been a student at the University of Georgia, graduating with the Class of 1915. Prior to his enlistment in the military, Adair worked in the construction department of the very successful American Bell Telephone Company, occasionally paying visits to his parents in Athens. In 1917, Adair was drafted to serve in World War I as a result of the Selective Service Act. He enlisted on December 12, 1917 and was sent to Fort Oglethorpe and then to Camp Johnson in Jacksonville. From Camp Johnson, Adair was sent overseas in June 1918. Adair served with the American expeditionary forces during his time overseas. In Toule, France, Adair contracted pneumonia as a result of a major pandemic and succumbed to his illness in a French hospital on September 14, 1918, at the age of twenty-four. His father was notified by telegram soon after his son’s death. Chester’s remains could not be interred in Athens for several years, however. Many American soldiers had been buried on French soil during the war, and the French were reluctant to allow the United States to remove the bodies for transport. They viewed the removal of the deceased as grim and distasteful. The French government later issued a ban on the transport of bodies for three years, stating that they needed to focus on rebuilding after the war, which had ended about two months after Chester’s death in 1918. It is likely that Chester was interred in an American cemetery in France prior to being transported back to his home. The ban was lifted in 1920 due to pressure by Americans. Chester’s body was first sent to New York, and then back to Athens for interment. The remains arrived on the afternoon of February 25, 1921 and services were held at First Methodist Church. Adair was buried in Oconee Hill Cemetery on February 27, 1921. On May 30, 1922, an elaborate memorial ceremony was held at Oconee Hill Cemetery honoring all of the soldiers who had lost their lives during the war. The gates of the cemetery were decorated with flowers and wreaths and two American flags were unfurled, one of them being the flag that had accompanied Adair’s body back to Athens. Records state that Adair’s grave may have been left either unmarked or not properly marked for seven years after his burial. In 1928, an application for a military headstone was made in the name of the Athens Judge Horace M. Holden, and Adair’s grave was given a proper headstone. While he did not have a profound impact on the Athens community as some of those who reside at Oconee Hill, Chester Adair serves as an example of the complexity behind even the most modest gravesites at cemeteries, and the importance of telling and making available the stories of all of the deceased at Oconee.

Born and raised in Athens, Georgia, he graduated from the University of Georgia in 1845 with a degree in medicine. Two years after his graduation, Henry married Susan Stroud. In the years following their marriage, Henry and his wife had three children. Mary Elizabeth was Henry's oldest daughter, who went on to marry Stephen Gould.

As stated in Dr. Crawford Long: The Distinguished Physician-Pharmacist, Henry was both a practicing physician as well as the owner of a drug store on Broad Street, which sat directly across from the entrance to the University of Georgia campus.

Long also served as a surgeon for the Confederate Army, which is thus displayed through the Confederate Cross upon his gravesite. He was a big supporter of the Confederate cause, often contributing money to its efforts before and during the Civil War. Henry died in Athens in 1888. Henry Long's brother, Crawford Long, is buried in East Hill. According to Dr. Crawford Long: The Distinguished Physician-Pharmacist, Crawford was born in November of 1815. He attended the University of Georgia at the age of 14, where he became lifelong friends with Alexander Stephens and participated in the Demosthenian Literary Society. He was the youngest graduate of the school to date. After graduating from the University of Georgia and furthering his medical education in Pennsylvania, Crawford began his practice as a medical surgeon in Jefferson, Georgia. Crawford Long is considered to be the first physician to discover anesthesia, which occurred through his use of Ether while conducting surgery in March of 1842. As an article in the Athens Banner explained, Crawford realized Ether’s pain masking abilities after watching his friends use the drug for recreation. After leading his practice in Jefferson for a few years, Crawford relocated to Athens to start the drug store business with his little brother. From 1851 and until his passing, Crawford enjoyed leading a busy life in Athens and was a notable citizen within the growing town. In 1878, Crawford died of a stroke and was interred in the East Hill of Oconee Hill Cemetery. The famous physician's legacy lived on through various memorials, such as Emory University's hospital that was named after him.

Title A name given to the resource Oliver Hillhouse Prince Jr. Subject The topic of the resource Oliver Hillhouse Prince Jr. Description An account of the resource Oliver Hillhouse Prince Jr. and his wife, Sarah Maria Rootes Jackson were members of the prominent Prince family in 19th century Athens. Their economic importance stemmed from the large plantations that they operated in the surrounding counties and their political importance stemmed from Oliver’s role as a lawyer, as the editor of the Georgia Telegraph, and as a lieutenant in the Civil War. His father is the man for whom Prince Avenue is named, and his children continued his legacy of active citizenship. Plot WH66 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Shelby Brown Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Shelby Brown Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant ||||osm 19th century Athens was home to the Prince family – a family renowned for their economic and political significance in the county, and for whom Prince Avenue was named. Oliver Hillhouse Prince, a native of Connecticut, moved to Georgia and began practicing law in Wilkes and Bibb counties after passing the bar in 1806. One of his most significant legal contributions to the state was the publication of his “Prince’s Digest of the Laws of Georgia,” which served as a prominent legal reference guide for decades. Prince served as a Georgia State Senator and later a United States Senator, during which time he worked as a commissioner in designing the city plan of Macon, and was remembered as “a man of rare gifts.” After leaving his political career, Prince moved to Milledgeville, the capital at the time, and became the editor of the Georgia Journal, and belonged to the Franklin College Board of Trustees – both of which allowed him to continue his political presence in the state. While returning from a trip to New York in 1837 during which the publication of Prince’s writings were discussed, Prince and his wife, Mary Ross Norman, died in a shipwreck off the coast of North Carolina, leaving behind their children – Oliver Hillhouse, Sarah Virginia, and Elizabeth Frances. Oliver Hillhouse Prince Jr. inherited his father’s passion for politics, completing his early education in Milledgeville and his secondary education at Yale, before becoming the editor of the Democratic Party newspaper, the Georgia Telegraph, in 1844. He left this position in 1847 in order to serve as a lieutenant in the Mexican-American War. After the conflict, Prince returned to Georgia and became a lawyer after passing the bar exam in 1850, and a prominent planter in both Bibb and Baker counties, where he operated several large plantations. During this time, he met Sarah Rootes Jackson, whom he married in 1852 and began a family of four children – Basiline, Henry, Jacqueline, and Oliver. Basiline would later contribute to the educational distinction of Athens, serving as the secretary of the Alumni Society of the Lucy Cobb Institute and as a member of the Daughters of the Confederacy in which she worked to preserve documents relating to the history of the Confederacy. Henry was named after Sarah’s father, Dr. Henry Jackson, the head of another prominent family in Athens. Henry Jackson immigrated from Devonshire, England to Savannah, Georgia in 1790, where his older brother, James Jackson, became the Governor of Georgia. Henry graduated from the Medical College of Pennsylvania in 1802 and worked as mathematics professor at the University of Georgia during the early 19th century. He transitioned from his role as a professor to the Secretary of the American Legation at Paris for five years, after which he returned to Georgia and married Martha Jacquelin Rootes Cobb, ex-wife of Congressman Howell Cobb, in 1818, and raised three children – Henry, Sarah, and Martha. Sarah would later marry Oliver Hillhouse Prince Jr., Martha would marry Hezekiah Erwin, and Henry Rootes would continue his father’s legacy in politics as a minister to Austria and Mexico. Jackson also served as a Confederate general in the Civil War, along with Oliver Hillhouse Prince Jr., who served as a captain in Howell Cobb’s division and helped recruit soldiers throughout Georgia. Prince’s wife and children resided in Bath, Georgia during the war and continued their residency for several years following the war while Oliver tended to his plantation in Macon. The documents left behind by the Prince and Jackson families – including correspondence, account books, and scrapbooks – provide insight into the economic and political life of 19th century Georgia, with particular emphasis on Reconstruction politics. While Oliver Hillhouse Prince and Mary Norman Prince were buried in Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon, and two of their children, George and Mary, are buried at RestHaven Cemetery in Washington, GA, their son Oliver, along with his daughter, Basiline, his wife, Sarah Jackson, and her parents, Henry and Martha Jackson, are all buried in Oconee Hill Cemetery.

Church was mourned by many in the Athens and University of Georgia communities, as Church had great influence in both. As a Presbyterian minister, Church often assisted poor churches who could not afford a minister by offering his time to these churches while asking that he not be compensated for his efforts. As for the University of Georgia, Church’s influence began when he was named professor of mathematics and astrology in Franklin College. Following the resignation of the President of the University, Dr. Waddell, Dr. Church was chosen as successor – serving as President of the University of Georgia from 1829-1859. His tenure as president was the longest term in the University’s history. While Alonzo Church was widely respected, there were times of unrest on the University of Georgia’s campus caused by Church’s disciplinarian style which eventually led to a decline in enrollment at the University. During his thirty year tenure, Church oversaw the construction of several campus buildings and landmarks that are now revered as icons of the University. Some of these icons include The Chapel, Phi Kappa Hall, and The Arch at the entrance of North Campus which was funded by the $1,000 sale of the University’s botanical garden. Other buildings in Athens still stand as a reminder of Church, including what now serves as the Athens Welcome Center at 280 East Dougherty Street. This federal style home known as the Church-Waddell-Brumby house was built by Church and is believed to be the oldest surviving house in Athens. Additionally, Church Street in Athens is named after Alonzo S. Church.
