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.

Albany's first Cemetery: At the bottom of one mile hill,on private property. (Need permission to go on land) The Rucker Family Cemetery was a smallpox cemetery. On a day in February, 1882 Mr. Evans got off the train in Albany, travel worn and ill. Mr. Weldon L. Rucker took him home with him. The next morning it became evident that he had smallpox. He died shortly after. He was buried in the small cemetery on the family land. The Rucker family all died from the small pox a few weeks later and are buried in the Rucker family Cemetery. The Rucker house with all its contents was burned to prevent further spreed of the disease. The Rucker home was the first log cabin built by A.A. Clarke. (Info from Old Time and Jo Ann Farmer)
There are only two stones in the cemetery.
