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.

Please see this article from the True Citizen newspaper for an explanation of this cemetery which is now a park across from Thomas Grove Baptist Church.

Further research has revealed that most of the burials here were moved to what is now known as "The Pines" cemetery.

A new sign has been added to this location that is a marble monument with the words "Slave Cemetery". Death certificates for this time use "Colored Cemetery" as the place of burial.

This has also been called the Old Quarter Cemetery.

This cemetery was used until 1931.
