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.

The Lain-Scholes Cemetery was a community cemetery with a white section (Lain) and an African-American section (Scholes). This cemetery was researched by two Janes sisters for the Graves County, KY Genealogical Society in 1981. It is off any main highway on farm land. The sisters reported the cemetery is in disrepair with some broken markers and many sand stone markers non-readable. I have a list of the names they could read and I will add some in the near future and maybe others later. They could not determine where the Lain Cemetery ended and the Scholes Cemetery began; therefore they entered all the names in the order they began with of the last names with which they were familiar. Some of these names were those of friends or family with which they grew up such as Nance, Lain, Folks and Gregory. I know these names are from the Lain (white) cemetery but I am not familiar with most of the other names. Some of my family married into the Lain and Folks families. JK Taylor
