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.

Williams Cemetery was a large public cemetery which, prior to TVA's creation of Cherokee Lake in 1941, was located on the property of J .A. Williams. At that time it was surveyed by TVA and found to have 101 graves, but only one was marked with an inscribed stone. As the cemetery was above the water level of the new lake, no graves were moved and a new road was cut to access the cemetery. Williams Cemetery is now located in an overgrown lot in the Shields Crossing subdivision off Highway 11-W.
