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 cemetery is located at the top of the heavily wooded hill on property owned by a Mr. Pope. His residence is the last right before the railroad overpass. His son lives up the drive towards the hilltop. The son took myself and my wife to the cemetery which is to the north of his pasture and difficult to get to. The best time to go would be mid winter when vegetation is dormant (as well as ticks and snakes).

The condition of the cemetery can be judged by the photographs but is much worse than they can tell. A group needs to take on the project of cleaning it up and finding other markers that were hidden by undergrowth or covered with leaves and branches.

A total of 42 graves were mentioned in one document as being there and we only found markers for half that.

Scott Co. death records are also misleading. Persons dying in the 1880's were in some cases mentioned as being interred in Norman's cemetery which now seems to be another name for Rocky Branch. The record for Jasper M. Moran states Norman's but his was the first marker found at Rocky Branch.
