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 IS A CENOTAPH.

Please visit Carole McCaig's excellent tribute to an American hero, (See Find A Grave memorial #21008490). Tom Lee rescued 32 of nearly 60 members of the Engineers' Club of Memphis and their families, when the M. E. Norman capsized on the Mississippi river, 15 miles south of Memphis at Cow Island Bend on 8 May 1925. Tom was returning from a trip to Helena, Arkansas, when he saw the steamboat go down. He made several trips, carrying as many as his 28 foot skiff could safely hold. Tom Lee kept his head in a crisis, remarkably, since he couldn't swim himself!
