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.

African American Cemetery. From intersection of Main St. & Pleasant St., in downtown Decaturville, travel southwest on Main St. for 0.6 mi.; turning southeast (left) onto Crawder St., going 0.1 mi., turning southwest (right) to stay on Crawder St. going about 100 yd. to the entrance sign of the cemetery.

This cemetery serves Decaturville's black families. It is typical of black cemeteries, with many temporary markers never being replaced with permanent markers and many unmarked graves. Fewer than half of all burials here are identified. The age of the cemetery is unclear. Earliest death date on a carved marker is 1902. The cemetery might be as old as Decaturville itself but more likely dates to the early 1870s when segregation began to be imposed. Mr. Donahue recorded the cemetery October 17, 1990.
