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.

Byrd Family Cemetery, located on the privately owned David Miller Farm (now owned by a descendant), Township 53, Range 33, Section 9. Survey done by Mrs. Harold Harris and Mrs. Howard Taylor some time before 1999.
This cemetery is located in Section 9 of T53-R33. This is somewhere west of the Platte County Line Road, northwest of Goss Cemetery.

See coordinates below.

These headstones apparently were not photographed when the original survey was done and the tombstones were still legible. The survey was done prior to 1999 but no one seems to know actual year.

One photo volunteer walked through pastures and climbed fences to find it and take photos in 2012, and wrote me this which I hope will help others:

" It is obvious that many people were buried here based on the protruding "rocks" and stones, outside the fenced-in area.
In the fenced in-area only the one 4-sided memorial shown, 4 names on 4 sides."

The cemetery is located at
39.4158/94.6152, and Google Earth clearly shows the clump of trees where the plot is.
