Before Gordon County was created, what is now known as Chandler Cemetery, a plot of four acres about 1½ miles north of downtown Calhoun, was a part of the plantation of Abraham Chandler. Chandler owned six hundred acres in the area. Mr. Chandler died in 1847 and was buried, as was the custom, on his own domain—the site chosen being a magnificently wooded hill overlooking the home place. Mrs. Chandler died in 1854, and the Chandler heirs deeded the hill to the town of Calhoun for a burial place in 1856. It is beautiful for the situation. The far-flung horizon, seen from its level summit, encircles seven visible counties, and the view on every side is as enchanting as a Swiss landscape. Numbers of cedars, cone-shaped by nature, recall the favorite cemetery decoration of early times. In 1911, a mortuary chapel was constructed. Today, the City of Calhoun Cemetery Department maintains Chandler Cemetery—selling and transferring burial rights for cemetery spaces, maintaining the grounds, etc.
