Early Inhabitants of Magnolia Park Cemetery; Warner Robins (Wellston), Georgia

Magnolia Park Cemetery
205 S. Pleasant Hill Road
Warner Robins, Georgia
Ph: (478) 922-5845

Here you will find some Magnolia Park cemetery photos and a survey of some of its oldest inhabitants. In fact, most of them were interred before the cemetery was established in 1949. The address of Magnolia Park is stated above. This portion of the cemetery is located 40 or so feet directly behind the main entrance sign, under the magnolia trees. It's just beautiful.

The land for Magnolia Park Cemetery was donated by Thomas WATSON, Sr. who was the father of R. H. Watson (Richmond Hezekiah; listed below). The initial part of the cemetery was for the Watson family and relatives and was known as the Watson Cemetery. Thomas at that time lived directly in front of the Cemetery (on the east side of Pleasant Hill).

Thank-you, Skeet Brown, for educating me on the history of Magnolia Park!
