Oak Hill Cemetery, also recorded as Old Oak Hill, is one of Quitman's principal historic burial grounds and holds well over 4,800 documented interments. North Highland Street divides the property, and the older eastern portion contains many weathered and unmarked graves. Among those laid to rest here is Woodson Ratcliffe Oglesby (1867-1955), who served as a United States congressman. The cemetery's size and age make it a substantial record of the community's history.
