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.

15.4 miles southwest of South Boston, Virginia. Go 2.4 miles northwest from South Boston on Route #682, thence 13 miles southwest on Route #659, thence .4 mile northwest on Route #662. The graveyard is on the west side of the road. This graveyard is in a grove of oak and pine trees. There is no fence around it, no care is taken of it and bushes of all kinds and many wild plants are scattered throughout the lot. J. H. Mills, grandson of John Garland Mills, established the Masonic Orphanage at Oxford, North Carolina. Later he moved to Thomasville, North Carolina and established a Baptist Orphanage there.

There are other graves in this lot which have oval shaped iron over them about two feet by three feet in size. On top of this iron is molded an open Bible about six by nine inches. This covering is on two graves. On another the form of a child is molded on the covering. At the head of each grave is an erect piece of iron that had a marble inset for the name and date, but the marble is gone now and no one knows whose graves these are.
