Ron's comments: "I have been working on a biography of Emma Eastman who is buried in the Eastman Cemetery & have come up with a list of interments in the Cemetery derived from the WPA Cemetery Recording Project, a last will and testament of one of Emma's nine husbands, a letter from another of Emma's husbands, and a letter from one of Emma's nieces. I believe the last burial was before the WPA project was done--probably Louisa Klotzbach in 1916. The Clayton County Pioneer Cemetery Commission started restoration of the Eastman Cemetery this past summer and will work on it again in the spring. Some of the missing grave markers have been located off-site and will be returned for the restoration."Read more about Emma Eastman on Ron's website.
