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 major African-American cemetery for the city of Mt. Pleasant has ultimately been called the Cortznes Cemetery. Prior to this accepted name, the common usage had been each of the names in the title above plus Reed Cemetery. This confusion of names resulted from the fact that the cemetery is essentially composed of at least 5 separate cemeteries. (Cortznes, Sheppard, Searcy, Old West City Cemetery and Mount Pleasant Colored Cemetery) A complete description of these deeded cemeteries can be found in Lynch Harper's "Cemeteries of Titus County". Since, to the casual observer, the cemeteries are indistinguishable, the city of Mount Pleasant treats them as a single entity and that being 'Cortznes Cemetery".
