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.

The Waters Family graveyard was at the "Rural Retreat" plantation home of Captain Wm Waters in Rapides Parish, LA about seven miles north of Pineville. The graveyard is noted in the photos of three newspaper articles posted here. Several family members were exhumed and re-interred in the Rapides Cemetery in Pineville in 1905 when the Waters Place was sold. Captain Water's remains and those of his last two wives were not accounted for in this exhumation. They remain in this, their original, location. The site is near the Kiwanis Summer Camp, and there is no visible indication of the graveyard today. (2021) - Jim Gudenrath, Austin, TX
