About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The cemetery is behind the home at 8635 Lake Wheeler Rd., which belonged to John Benton Strain and his wife Nancy Jones and their descendants.

John & Nancy were the parents of two daughters, Theodora, born in 1862 and Martha, born in 1864. Theodora "Dora" married Everett Banks and raised eleven children in the Strain-Jones home.

The graves are on the north side of the house under a large cedar tree. The stones were placed by Ed Banks, John & Nancy's great grandson, who grew up in the house along with his parents and siblings. Ed was interviewed in 2006 when the cemetery was surveyed.
