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 located on Rt 35 South, approximately 1.1 mile from Potecasi Baptist Church, on left in field towards Rt 258. When information recorded Jan 2005, the cemetery was very badly overgrown; enclosed by chain link fence.

Nov 24, 1914 James E Draper bought 113 acres from Jackson Blanchard, Jackson's undivided interest in the land of Jordan J Blanchard (deceased) and Theo E Blanchard.

When info recorded from stones, there were only 4 markers visible though space would allow for more graves.

James Draper & his wife Della had an unnamed female child born and died Jan 28, 1915, just a short time after they purchased the land, who may be buried in this cemetery and their daughter Nola Fay Draper & her husband John Samuel Hudson had an unnamed female child who was born and died April 16, 1929 who may also be buried in this location.

Pictures taken March 2015 - still badly overgrown, though someone has cut some of the underbrush so that now the fence can be seen and several grave markers are visible from the outside of the cemetery.
