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 old cemetery (also called Old Funk) is listed in the W.P.A. cemetery records. On a wagon trail south of Funk's Mill (built in 1853) a pioneer family was traveling through, and buried a child, the first burial.

In the early 1850's land was secured for a new cemetery one mile east of this one. 11 or 12 graves (and 7 or 8 stones), names and dates unknown, were moved to the newer Oak Hill Cemetery.

One man remembers that when he was a boy, someone showed him where the cemetery had been. No tombstones, but that the ground looked like grave spaces.

Not much is known about the name Hazen but a 10 year old boy, Charles L., son of J.F. & M.J. HAZEN, was buried in Oak Hill Cemetery in 1876.
