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.

The John Darden home site and Cemetery was located next to Lake Martin Amphitheater in Elmore County....In 1916,Alabama Power obtained the rights to build a dam at Cherokee Bluffs on the Tallapoosa River located in the area of Darden Cemetery. Construction began on the dam in 1923 and graves from Darden Cemetery, were relocated to other cemeteries in the area. The majority of the graves including John and his wife Elizabeth were moved to a small plot of land that sits across from Prospect Cemetery on Prospect Road off of county road 63/Kowliga Road on Lake Martin.
Both Prospect and Darden Cemetery are in view of the lake.The relocated Darden cemetery is grown up...a rusted fenced surrounds it..the graves are marked by small iron post with numbers etched on them...around 16 graves can be found.Five graves from Darden Cemetery were moved to Harmony Church Cemetery in Coosa County, 16 graves were moved to Mt Gilead Church Cemetery in Elmore county. Alabama Power documents have 42 graves being in the old Darden cemetery with surnames of Darden, Adams, Thornton,Thompson and McCain.
