Roselawn Cetemery; Downtown Hattiesburg - 7th Street I spent many a happy family outing here.  Roselawn Cemetery.  It had special meaning for my parents and it was the only cemetery in town with a duck pond. My parents came to Hattiesburg for the university & on days off from classes they would spend time together & feed the ducks here.
