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 cemetery is in the Sand Hill community off FM 555 (approximately 2 miles from Sand Hill Baptist church and cemetery)on private property.
The cemetery is not accessible by car.

The property owners kindly drove me by ATV to the cemetery site which is up on a hill. There are 11 marked graves and approximately 8-10 unmarked graves in the family section which current owners have marked with crosses.

There are many unmarked graves away from the family section going down the hillside and these graves are thought to be slaves graves. The owner has marked all these with crosses as well.

During out-of-county ownership, the cemetery was heavily damaged by a logging company. Two headstones were moved to the Gilmer City Cemetery, (bodies were not exhumed) : Josiah J E Moughon (b. 27 May 1864 - d. 14 Aug 1887) and Mrs. P E Moughon (b. 25 Jan 1832 - d. 18 Nov 1877).
