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.

African American Cemetery. This cemetery is on private property and there is no public road leading to the cemetery. The cemetery is in a wooded area with no public access.

Some have referred to this as the Boone Cemetery, but it should not be confused with the other two Boone Cemeteries in Washington County (the one east of Elkins off of Hwy 16E, the other one near Greenland). A source found at the Fayetteville Public Library, believed to have been prepared in the late 1960's, named this cemetery as the Harris Graveyard. All sources indicated this was an African-American cemetery. Some have indicated this cemetery may contain the graves of former slaves of the area. The cemetery has not been used in many years, but the age of the cemetery is not known.

As of January 2012, there were many unmarked sandstone markers in this cemetery. Only one gravestone containing identifying information was found among several downed trees and underbrush.
