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.

Founded in 1923 as a Methodist retreat, Gulfside Assembly was the only place at the time that provided accommodations to African Americans along the entire Gulf of Mexico. While technically not a cemetery, three individuals associated with the founding of Gulfside are buried there: Bishop Robert E. Jones, his wife Elizabeth, and Bishop Robert N. Brown. In 1969, its facilities were significantly damaged during Hurricane Camille. In the midst of a revitalization project, Gulfside's facilities were completely destroyed during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. All that remainded were the burial grounds. A new renovation project is currently in development.
