Susan J. Harrington, Hugh T. Harrington, and Floride Moore Gardner (Editors), Historic Memory Hill Cemetery, Milledgeville, Georgia, 1804-1997. Published by Boyd Publishing Company, Milledgeville, GA, 1998 (759 pages).

               This book is based on the same database as used for this website and provides an every-name index to Milledgeville's first city cemetery, from 1804 on, including 1807 to 1868 (when Milledgeville was the capital of Georgia). The book also provides the maps for locating graves and a brief tour of the cemetery.

                The Historic Memory Hill Cemetery  book was done with the sacrifice of time and money from the compilers, who include not only the editors but a large group of volunteers from the community.  No money was made by any of the compilers. The book was done as a group effort for the sole benefit of aiding family researchers, historians, and the Milledgeville community.

Harold Lawrence, Memory Hill, 1994, published by Cherokee Publishing Company and sold by Boyd Publishing Company.

This book is a transcription and index of a previously unpublished list of internments kept by the city of Milledgeville.  The list contains the name, age, place of birth, cause of death, color, and death date associated with those buried in Memory Hill.  This book should be a fine supplement to this website and the Historic Memory Hill Cemetery book above, for many burials occurred that were unrecorded elsewhere, have no markers.
