The first of 29 known burials happened in 1852 after a fight between two early Buckhead settlers ended in murder. James Lowry Jr. was shot and killed by George Washington Evins. Lowery was laid to rest on his father’s property. The one-acre, overgrown cemetery site was recently identified during the Buckhead Green Space Action Plan as a potential future park. In 2013, the cemetery was transferred to the City of Atlanta for green space.
