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.

ocated on the North side of Hwy 88, .5mi. past SR1118. Access is via the gated, but largely defunct, Paradise Valley development. Cemetery is located at the top right. Clearly, the original developer made an effort to protect this cemetery by constructing a paved road which encircles it. Based on information from local residents, it is believed that many, if not all, of the markers were moved perhaps 30 years ago and placed against a nearby fence line in order to not interfere with the cutting of hay. After some protests by neighbors, they were moved back and placed randomly in the cemetery. Years of growth in the meantime have covered them up. In May 2016 using a steel rod as a probe 5 were found buried 4-6 inches underground (see photos on memorial pages). It seems likely that there are more especially since a gravestone base, which would accommodate a marker larger than those found, was uncovered.
