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.

Excerpt from Sun Chroncile article of Feb 28, 1990, p 16 by Chad Means
The Price-Slaughter Cemetery, surrounded by black locust saplings, remains near Corum Road, southwest of Excelsior Springs. The Price family owned a substantial farm on old Highway 10 between Excelsior Springs and Liberty where Col Richard Montomery Gano Price, built a spacious, antebellum brick home in the 1850's. RMG Price married Lucy Thornton Slaughter. Their only daughter, Lizzie Price Johnson, made a major contribution to education and cemetery preservation in 1926 by donating $250,000 to William Jewell College to perpetually maintain the Price-Slaughter Cemetery, sometimes called the Strawberry Patch Cemetery. Through the efforts of the Clay County Cemetery Committee, William Jewell College will resume maintenance of the cemetery.
