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.

Exact location unknown. Located near Trinity on what was the farm of Robert Short and Harriet (Taylor) Short, an African-American family. Both Robert and Harriet were probably born into slavery and they married and started their family before emancipation. Robert first appears in Trinity County records when he is listed as a taxpayer in 1868. Robert and Harriet are buried here, as are many of their fifteen children along spouses and perhaps grandchildren, with family members undertaking the burials. It is referred to as Short Cemetery on their son Fred's 1960 death certificate, and his may have been the last burial as his wife Lou (Mitchell) Short would be buried in Trinity Black Cemetery in 1969. It's likely that the grave markers were all homemade and the cemetery may no longer be recognizable.
