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.

There were many marble above-ground vault-box gravestones in the Shirley Sledge, Jr., cemetery. The graveyard itself was deeded separately from the plantation itself, but a many who came into possession of part of the property around the cemetery pulled down the fence around the graves, hauled off the marble markers, and plowed over the land as if it were part of his property. There is, of course, a special place in the hottest part of Hell for a person who would do such a thing. These markers were still in existence when Clifford Smith did his cemetery survey in the 1930's. They were still there in the 1950's when members of the family remember going there. Among the stones that were there and are gone now.
