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.

Salem Methodist Church, which was located in Richland County at what is now Ft. Jackson, was founded in 1887. When Ft. Jackson expanded, the church closed its doors in 1939 and relocated to the city of Elgin in Kershaw
County. The first church service at the new location was in January 1942 (from 1939-1942 the congregation met at Blaney School).

When Ft. Jackson took over church properties in Richland County, some burials were moved to other cemeteries outside of the Fort.
