Pandy Starling has visited the cemetery recently (1999) and taken
pictures of several of her families headstones along with a picture
of the building that's on the grounds.
Click here to view the picture Pandy Starling took of the building at Oak Ridge Cemetery.
She's also given me an idea to put links to photo's. If anyone who
has a family member buried here and is willing to either send me a
picture or an email with a photo attachment to it I will put in on
this site.
Also if you have a family member that you know is buried at Oak Ridge
Cemetery and you don't find them here please let me know and I'll place
them on this list.
Thanks so much!!

Below are members of the Willis Family of which I located during my research April 26, 2001 in the Arcadia area at the Oak Ridge Cemetery in Lot# 8, Block P. The people in Arcadia are very accommodating.I even met a distant cousin's wife who works in the Tax Office, DeSoto County Courthouse Annex.
Matt, I hope this information will be useful for others. Unfortunately, as we all get older, we tend to forget information that would assist others to locate our ancestors or relatives. Currently I am being told that my Great grandfather Joseph Linton Ginn is also buried in the same cemetery. However, Arcadia City Hall does not have a record of him. My source is a 84 year old relative who still lives in the city and knows where he is laid to rest. Regretfully, she was unable to go to the cemetery or give me exact directions of where to find him. I have relatives in the area and am relying on them to locate him.

This submission is from Wayne Baldwin, a family member of Arthur Edward Clements.
His contact information is below or you can e-mail him at Wayne BaldwinGood Morning Mr. Lindsay, I've been researching for my cousins most of the past year, and with the help of Chris Welch from Florida, finally got my cousin's grandfather's death certificate.
Arthur Edward Clements died in Florida State Hospital #2 at Arcadia, De Soto County. He was born in Albemarle Co., Virginia May 22 or 24, 1879 and died October 16, 1955 in the hosptial and was buried in Oak Ridge Cemetery on October 20, 1955. It's likely he doesn't have a stone or marker at his grave, but we just don't know.
I nor the family has a picture of him, and all were wondering if perhaps the hosptial might have had a photo of him in their records since he was a resident there according to the death certificate for 2 years and 8 months.
A funny thing is that his death certificate says he was never married, but we know for certain he was married twice. Here in Virginia the first time and had two children. He married secondly a woman by the name of Mary F., probably from Florida. We don't know the reasons he left his first wife but do know he ended up in Florida many years later (see 1930 census of St. Petersburg) and was found there with his second wife, Mary.
At the time of his admission to the hospital the death certificate says he'd been a resident of West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County.
I'm sending you a scanned copy of the death certificate if you'd like to post it on your site. If you do have a chance to visit the cemetery and do find his grave...with or without a marker we'd be very interested to know either way and have a photo taken if there is...just let me know your charge/ fees etc., and I'll send you a check pronto.
Many thanks,
Wayne F. Baldwin 1458 Fords Shop Road Culpeper, Virginia 22701 (540) 543-2590 Arthur Edward Clements - Death certificate
