About

This free space page for the Old City Cemetery is part of WikiTree's Florida Cemeteries Project, and was created to document the life and times of our ancestors that are interred there. The Florida Cemeteries Project is a subproject of the larger U.S. Cemeteries Project.

Old City Cemetery is located in the City of Tallahassee, the capital city of Florida, in Leon County, Florida. Old City Cemetery was established in 1829 by the Territorial Legislative Council. In 1840, the City of Tallahassee took it over.

The cemetery is bordered by Park Avenue, Macomb Street, Call Street and M. L. King Boulevard. It is laid out in four quadrants. When originally established, the cemetery was segregated with white people buried in the Eastern quadrants, and slaves and free people of color in the Western quadrants. Union soldiers were buried in the Southwest quadrant and Confederate soldiers in the Southeast quadrant.

People from all walks of life are buried in the cemetery including Governors and statesmen, soldiers, merchants, slaves and Yellow Fever victims. There are roughly 1540 interments.

This page is a work in progress, and will remain so until the Table of Interments (below) is completed. The Table of Interments is a sortable listing of persons interred at this cemetery, some or all of whom are linked to existing WikiTree profiles. Although all grave markers in this cemetery have been photographed (or will be shortly), the photos can only be displayed for persons with existing WikiTree profiles. If you know of a person interred at this cemetery that should be linked to an existing WikiTree profile, or needs to have a profile created for them, please contact Carolyn Martin for assistance.

To Do

Project members are needed to:

• Assist with data collection and grave marker transcriptions

Additional photography and GPS data collection is needed, and previously collected data can be sent by email to other members willing to assist with transcriptions.

• Link existing profiles or create new profiles for persons listed in the Table of Interments

When complete, everyone listed in the Table of Interments will be linked to their own WikiTree profile, and to a photo of that person's corresponding grave marker. The created profiles can include other genealogical and biographical information as well as a listing of sources for documentation.

• Validate links and transcription information

Profile and photo links and transcribed information needs to be cross-checked to ensure accuracy.

• Create an audio/video tour of the cemetery

Record a virtual tour of the cemetery that can be viewed as downloadable media on computers, tablets or other device. Such a tour would take the viewer around the cemetery to explore the history of the people buried here. Background information can be supplied. Those with mobile internet access can access online links to more information.
