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 is a fenced-in cemetery in Pendleton Township, Jefferson County, a couple miles northeast of Opdyke, south of Bluford, and just north of I-64 (see map). It is not to be confused with two other Shelton Cemeteries in the area. There is an old abandoned Shelton Cemetery a few miles to the south in an overgrown wooded area just west of the Jefferson-Hamilton county line in Moores Prairie Township, Jefferson County, southeast of Belle Rive and about a mile west of Dahlgren. Then there is a Shelton Cemetery (aka Shelton-Auxier Cemetery) a few miles to the southeast in Hamilton County about a mile northeast of Dahlgren.
