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.

Caroline "Carrie" (Boyer) Campbell, wife of James Kidd Campbell, died at her home and wanted to be buried under the peach tree in the front yard. It was marked by a cement slab, "Caroline (Boyer) Campbell 1901."

In 1975 the house was torn down and burned and the land plowed. The cement slab was lost. Her husband was buried in the Leon Cemetery in 1931. There is a small, individual marker on the Campbell lot there: "In Memoriam Caroline Campbell 1863 - 1901".
