It absolutely was in official use because the city burial ground from regarding 1810 to 1856, till the Oconee Hill burial ground opened. The last far-famed burial wasn’t till 1898, however. The burial ground is set on the University Of Georgia (UGA) field adjacent to the Lamar Dodd college of Art (Visual Arts Building to the north) and Baldwin Hall (to the south) Jackson Street (to the West), and Thomas Street (to the East), “on land that was originally a part of the University’s grant from the state general assembly, and also the college apparently given it to the town of Athens, although Isadora Duncan says there’s no official record of the transaction”.
