On one of my last days in Montgomery I was able to find the cemetery where Hank Williams Sr and his wife are buried. It turned out to be an awesome day so I decided to stroll through since parts of the cemetery were so old and interesting.
This is the oldest part of Oakwood cemetery. I loved the way each family had a gated part where all members were buried.
The place was huge and it would have taken me days to walk through the whole thing, but I couldn't help but admire it's beauty. Call me crazy, but there was something very interesting and capturing about this specific cemetery. Maybe all the history?
As I walked down the hill to the newer part where Hank is buried I realized how vast this place really was. It would have been VERY spooky had it not been 75 and sunny that day. As I searched for Hank, "Midnight in Montgomery" by AJ was playing over and over in my mind. This cemetery was about as eerie as that song. I now know why AJ wrote it the way he did.
Walking up to the second oldest part. Big ol hill.
Looking back after I reached the top.
Hank and Audrey Williams.
Just thought this was neat.
Some Royal Air Force men who died here in America during WWII.
This had hundreds of names carved in it of fallen Civil War soldiers.
Wow! I forgot he was buried in Montgomery! Very cool. You guys heading back to OK? Keep us posted about a possible new pup ;-)
