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 is where African Americans living in the Sun coal camp were buried. The cemetery is located in what was formerly referred to as "colored town" in Sun, WV. The cemetery is surrounded by a brick wall built in 2000 by John Houck who lived on Sun Hill, directly above the cemetery. Map location is approximate. If you're familiar with Sun, the cemetery is near where Fred Shelton lived.
