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.

Heard cemetery is a very old cemetery with plots dating back to 1840s. It was the scene of federal troops crossing the river during the Civil War at what was known as Isom's Ferry. There currently is a historical marker commemorating the event.

This cemetery is in danger of being destroyed. The land was sold at auction for back taxes -- cemeteries aren't supposed to be taxed under Georgia state law – it has been eyed as a site for development. Numerous lawsuits have been filled but the future of this cemetery is uncertain.

Cemetery is fairly good condition, many headstones are still intact. Some headstones are off base and propped up on trees or lying flat on ground.There are some depressions indicating graves and some rock markers.
