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 only marked graves in this cemetery are of the Methvin family. This cemetery was so unknown that even the survey by Mr. Hayes in 1948 did not include it. When the new Dale County cemetery book was made in 2002 we had no knowledge of this cemetery. It was in 2010 when a local resident told me about it and I went there to see it. I did some research on this family using the census records but found very little information to identify them. The whereabouts of this family today is unknown. I am listing this cemetery hoping that someone, somewhere will benefit from it.

Locals tell me that there were many burials in there. At one point in time there was supposed to be a civil war cannon in there, long gone now. I walked the perimeter of the fence line and it appears that a lot of 100' square was set aside for burials. There are several sink holes that are consistent with unmarked burials that I have seen in other cemeteries.

Whether it was a family cemetery or a community cemetery, I cannot say. I found no records to support either one. I did look in the old local papers for that name and either did not find it or I overlooked it. If you link to this family or know more about this family I would love to know more about them.
