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 once contained graves from the 1840s until the 1910s. This cemetery was destroyed in 2017 from an encroaching rock quarry. The bodies were unceremoniously removed from their graves and all bones were placed into one large box together. These bones were moved to the John W. Davis cemetery on Maple Fork Road. Headstones from this cemetery were mostly rock markers, although four actual headstones were also moved to the other cemetery along with the bodies. People familiar with this cemetery say some of the marked graves had coffins with glass viewing lids and a fancy wrought iron fence around Joseph R. Williams' grave. The remains of smashed glass and one fence post are still in the area of the grave site. The rest of the fence was crushed and thrown into a ditch. depressions in the ground are the only other clue this was once a cemetery.
