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.

Located on the grounds of Forest Oak Middle School, this burial location was created during the construction of the school when two skulls were discovered in the dirt mound created by excavation equipment. Allegedly, the equipment unearthed and destroyed the Saffell family burial ground, yet no other remains were found in the area. This current location is in close proximity to where the skulls were discovered. The skulls were carbon-dated to c1900 and buried within this fenced enclosure after the school's completion in June 2000.

The Saffell farm was located approximately 1,600 feet west of this burial location. Home of Charles Saffell, a Revolutionary War Patriot, who is presumed to have been buried in the destroyed cemetery.
