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 little cemetery is situated in a remote wooded location about a mile and a half due northeast of Dryden, as the crow flies, and was originally the family cemetery of Charles and Catherine (White) Barker. Members of other neighboring families have been buried here over the course of time. The earliest marked grave is dated 1881; the most recent burial (as of 2022) took place in 1992. About 30 marked graves lie here alongside a handful of illegible, nameless, and unmarked graves. The cemetery is owned and maintained by Jeff Barker (grandson of Benjamin Harrison Barker), who is happy to escort visitors to the graveyard. He may be reached at (276) 870-2355 or (276) 565-1012.

From the junction of School House Ridge Rd. & Cave Springs Rd. (S.R. 621) north of Dryden, head E. on Cave Springs Rd. for 1¾ mi. At the last drive on the left before the entrance to Cave Springs Recreation Area, pull in and stop at the home of Jeff Barker. From there, a rugged trail leads through the woods to the cemetery and is best taken on foot or by ATV.
