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 First Shaver Cemetery was created by Cornelius Shaver on the land he owned, then later was owned by Lester Purser, and currently by Doris Kimsey. There are four unmarked fieldstone markers, which could represent (6) (7) (17) or (42) designations in the Rhea County Cemetery Records, Vol 2, p. 297, and five unmarked graves (11), (16), (18) (35), and (36). There are many other sites that could be unmarked graves.

Unmarked burials could be for Will Snyder, father of Wilbur "Champ" Snyder;
another might be Emma Gladys Shaver Eakins, and other possibilities are John Shaver and Catherine Hafley Shaver, the parents of Cornelius Shaver, and perhaps John's father.
