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.

Kessinger Cemetery is a small family cemetery near Pearl. The cemetery has been fenced in, and was mowed when I visited. At some time in the past, a concrete border marking the plots was erected around the burials and the headstones and footstones were cemented into the border.

There are three tombstones with footstones in the cemetery presumably all children of Ransom Kessinger and Sarah Jane Peacock.

The cemetery is near Hess Cemetery where Ransom and Sarah Jane Kessinger and other family members are buried.

The Kessinger Cemetery was most likely the place where the Kessinger family members who passed away first were buried.
As Hess Cemetery became an established community cemetery, other family members were buried there.

Please see the map for the location of the cemetery.
