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.

African American Cemetery. This private cemetery is located on a portion of seven acres of land purchased by Sam Ward and his wife, Eliza, on January 16, 1940.

The cemetery is bounded directly on the east by Oakland Cemetery.

The cemetery was in existence and recognized on plat drawings of April 21, 1942. Land adjoining it was later sold to the City of Trenton and today the small cemetery is bounded on the north by a recent extension of Oakland and on the south by Brown Shoe Company.

Memorials/burials in this cemetery were verified with the Tennessee Cemetery Index transcribed, 05 Dec 1990, by Emily B. Walker.
