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.

Many graves throughout this cemetery are covered by an approximately 3' x 6' heavy concrete slab, or a similar size soil mound that's covered with a layer of concrete, but do not in any type way, via etching into the concrete, nor an adjacent inscribed headstone, or any type name and dates marker, identify precisely who the individual interred in that spot is.

All oldest marked graves throughout the cemetery are located directly behind the church and its addition. That area conveys the impression of likely being full of numerous early unmarked graves.

The vast majority of marked graves throughout the cemetery are located in a newer continuation that seems to have begun contemporary to the church's rebuilding in 1967.

FYI: This cemetery was routinely referred to as Ross Point Cemetery on old death certificates from throughout the first several decades of the twentieth century.
