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 cemetery has no name posted, and is not shown on USGS topo maps. According to a death recorded for Joseph Lane Phillips in "Short History of the Philips and Yarbrough Families", (Paul's Valley, OK.: Self Published, 1928), the name of the cemetery is Bray's Chapel Cemetery. It is located at the intersection of Hwy 231 and Stevens Farm Road. There are 4 marked graves in this cemetery, but only 3 have inscriptions. Ross Philips, Probate Judge of St. Clair County, and son of Reuben Philips and Rebecca Watkins, began purchasing land in this area in 1854, and purchased the property where the cemetery lies in 1860. His brother, James Madison Philips purchased adjacent property across the road in 1860, which is now the St. Clair County Highway Department offices. The oldest marked burial in this cemetery is the young son of James Madison Philips, Joseph L. Philips, who died in May 1865 at the age of 4 years, 3 months, and 22 days.
