With a full moon and candles glowing along a luminary lined path, come meet one of Auburn’s most notorious characters and founders of the town in a virtual “walk through history” at the Auburn Heritage Association’s Pine Hill Cemetery Lantern Tour Oct. 19 and 20 from 6:30 p.m. until 9 p.m. Escorts with lanterns lead visitors from one historical character in period dress to another, as each one spins an enchanting story of life in a growing community. The history of Auburn and the university are intertwined at the historic cemetery where five Auburn University presidents are buried and many of the town’s community leaders. Some have streets named in their honor. To enhance the memorable experience, a bluegrass band will entertain at the cemetery’s entrance. “The tour is one of the best ways to learn about local history,” says Mary Norman, president of the Auburn Heritage Association (AHA). “Historical Auburn characters buried in the oldest cemetery in Auburn will be featured. The six acres of land for Pine Hill Cemetery is located on Armstrong Street and was donated by the city’s founder, Judge John J. Harper in 1837. “Ironically, it was his first son, Thomas Harper, who was buried there in 1838. Judge Harper will be back on the tour along with new characters, Drs. Olive and Ben Thomas Sr. and Mary Elizabeth and Matilda Walker.” Along with Judge Harper, other members of the settlement party who came here in 1836 are buried there, including the Wynns, Scotts, Perrys, Dowdells, Eadys and Flanagans. While cemetery records and plot maps are kept at City Parks and Recreation, a complete list of marked graves was not compiled until 1952. By the time of the survey, many older graves were no longer marked, and some were never identified. In 2010, AHA conducted ground penetrating radar on the mass grave in front of the Confederate Monument to locate 98 unknown soldiers where it was suspected they were hospitalized at the Old Main, the college’s main building where Samford Hall now stands. The survey revealed a mass grave believed to be Confederate soldiers who probably died in the Battle of Atlanta and were taken to Pine Hill, as they came from EAST ALABAMA LIVING 45
