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.

This private family burial plot contains one marker that is shared by William Sidney Bush and his father, Robert Early Bush. Sidney died of meningitis in 1896 at the age of 20 and was buried behind the the family home-place known as Centerville Farm. In Robert's 1923 will he requested, "I direct my executor herinafter named to see that I am buried in the lot of land reserved by me, now the farm now occupied by my son John Elbert Bush on the right hand side of the grave of my son Sydney, and I further direct that the entire lot of land aforesaid be covered with a solid coat of cerement not to be less than six inches thick, and that a monument to cost about six hundred dollars, be placed in said lot to the memory of myself and my said son, Sydney." The will was recorded on July 19th, 1923 and Robert's wished for his burial were carried out. No other persons are buried at this site. No other evidence of grave stones exist, and burials after the cement slab was poured in 1923 would have been impossible.
