Add PhotosThe cemetery is mentioned in Thannie Smith Wisenbaker's account of early Valdosta. She wrote:
"It was the first house built on this plantation when Mr. Burgsteiner came to the county a pioneer. A greater part of the citizens remember the large Oak tree near the corner of the Bray residence. [NOTE: The John N Bray residence was located at 1203 North Patterson Street, northeast corner of Patterson and Ann Street]. Under the shade of this oak was the last resting place mother and brother of this [NOTE: the Burgsteiner] family. Where is it today disappeared and underneath the side walk is the dust of these people which had blended with mother earth. In the search for a thing tangible, there was not even a handful of dust, so many years had passed since they had been buried there. When Patterson Street was opened through, the old oak tree stood in the survey of the street and was finally destroyed. And so the little plot of ground which been fenced, first with rails, and then with a picket fence, would have to be removed to make room for progress."
