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 less than a mile away from what used to be the Oxmoor Furnace. The area was once called the Oxmoor Community. It's currently located within Birmingham city limits. The land is owned by U.S. Steel Corporation.

Most of the graves have no markers left. You can see hundreds of areas that would indicate that they are the site of a sunken grave and only a few on the top of the hill have proper markers. The Oxmoor Cemetery/U.S. Steel Cemetery is on 5 1/2 acres of land and was established in 1825. The cemetery was in use until 1912 and was the burial site of over 300 residents of Oxmoor including slaves, workers and management of the nearby Oxmoor Furnaces. At the base of the cemetery, the bed of the old Selma to Elyton road can still be seen. In antebellum times, a stagecoach stop was here. It is also located approximately 30 feet from a recently closed shaft into one of the company's Pratt Mines.
