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.

Cemetery is just off Highland Park Road about 1/4 mile from N. Highland Lake Rd on the left. There is a small pull off for parking.

Update from the Flat Rock Village Historical Society: The cemetery in East Flat Rock, Oakland, was established c1873 by African-American servants etc., brought to Flat Rock by the Charlestonians - those who preferred the Baptist faith rather than worship at the Episcopal Church of St. John in the Wilderness. With emancipation, they purchased land on Mine Gap Road in East Flat Rock and built Mud Creek Baptist Church (the same name as the much larger Mud Creek Baptist Church in Flat Rock), and established Oakland Cemetery. It's definitely still there!
