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 is listed as endangered. There are broken stones, missing stones, etc. It is located in what was once the backyard of the Preston Goforth family, but now known as Afton Road, just off highway 74. The burial ground is not visible from the road and one must walk back in the woods a bit to see it.

Preston Goforth cemetery has been restored since my visit Feb. 2008. I believe the work was done by DAR, as I had been told by a member that restoration was in the plans for it.
