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 church was founded in 1819 by Rev. Joshua Wilson. In 1854, a two-story building was built on this site. The lower floor was a church and the upper floor served as a Masonic lodge. This building was damaged by a tornado in 1911. It was rebuilt immediately as a single story building using much of the material from the original building. The Gainestown United Methodist Church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 28, 1999, due to its architectural significance.
