Fairly popular with the more well-to-do citizens of New Prairie, many were buried there until a cave-in in 1954 forced the caretakers to shut down the catacombs. During the cave-in, the original entrance into the catacombs was destroyed and purposefully left sealed, angering many families of those who were buried within.

	In 1986, Cooke brought the body of [[Nathan Myers]] into the catacombs where he magically ~~awoken~~. Years later, the two turned the catacombs into their base of operation for when Myers became the crime fighter [[Gravestone]]. The mausoleum that Cooke made his way into was subtly rebuilt with an addition of a statue of Jesus, hands out on a pedestal. By touching his right hand, the statue slid aside and revealed a set of stone stairs that led down into the catacombs themselves.

The second cemetery for [[New Prairie]], which was founded in 1930.

==History==
Named for the Oak trees that lined the patch of land that was purchased. The cemetery was built on the western base of [[Cambiere Rock]] and stretches three blocks to the south and quite a distance back and up the slope of the mountain. The first ceremony for the new grounds was for [[Roberto Martini|Roberto]] and [[Rachel Martini]]. While neither of the two’s bodies were ever located, their disappearance from the town for so long had caused them to be declared legally dead. A grave stone marks their death at the entrance way into the grounds.

==Notorious Residents==
Most of New Prairie’s most notorious and infamous residents have been laid to rest within the park itself. In the main chapel just a short distance inside the entranceway to the park, there’s a map that will allow visitors a guide to the final resting place of such people. However, a few have been purposefully left off the map in fear of visitors with unruly thoughts causing havoc with the gravesites ([[Vinnie Sportien]] is one of them).
