Austin 360
The sublime Oakwood Cemetery Chapel, designed by Charles Page in 1914 and rededicated after a major retooling in 2018, has been closed to the public since March 2020.

“I sang it at my 75th wedding anniversary, too, with the men’s chorus at Ebenezer Baptist Church,” Dotson says in a smooth tenor voice. “I was with my wife, Ruth, for 79 years. She was my girl.”
If you request that song today, Dotson, who turns 102 on April 15, will likely oblige. ....
